The present book, addressing these issues in the framework of recent versions of canonical quantization, is the first to present coherently the background for their understanding. Starting with an analysis of the structure of constrained systems and the problems of their quantization, it discusses the canonical formulation of classical relativity from different perspectives and leads to recent applications of canonical methods to create a quantum theory of gravity. The book aims to make accessible the most fundamental problems and to stimulate work in this field.Lecture Notes in Physics,0075-8450 ;434Quantum physicsQuantum computersSpintronicsGravitationQuantum Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080Quantum Information Technology, Spintronicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070Quantum physics.Quantum computers.Spintronics.Gravitation.Quantum Physics.Quantum Information Technology, Spintronics.Classical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory.530.1/2Ehlers J(Jürgen),1929-2008edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtFriedrich Helmutedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtW.E.
