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. 410 0$aLecture Notes in Physics,$x0075-8450 ;$v434 606 $aQuantum physics 606 $aQuantum computers 606 $aSpintronics 606 $aGravitation 606 $aQuantum Physics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19080 606 $aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31070 606 $aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19070 615 0$aQuantum physics. 615 0$aQuantum computers. 615 0$aSpintronics. 615 0$aGravitation. 615 14$aQuantum Physics. 615 24$aQuantum Information Technology, Spintronics. 615 24$aClassical and Quantum Gravitation, Relativity Theory. 676 $a530.1/2 702 $aEhlers$b J$g(Ju?rgen),$f1929-2008$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aFriedrich$b Helmut$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 712 12$aW.E.
