Abstract
An intrinsic quantization procedure based on higher symmetries of classical dynamical systems and utilizing the techniques of van Hove and Souriau is proposed. The procedure is intrinsically Hamiltonian but not explicitly canonical in that the Heisenberg algebra plays no fundamental role. The proposed method is applied to the n‐dimensional harmonic oscillator and to the n‐dimensional hydrogen atom. This approach seems to provide the first intrinsic justification of the success of ordinary correspondential quantization for this last system.
