How can classical Hamiltonian mechanics be expressed as C*-algebra?

46 Views Asked by At

I am not able to find a proper explanation of how classical mechanics can be expressed as C*-algebra. In the brief description that I found (please see here below few references), it is said that classical mechanics is described as abelian $C^{*}$-algebra, but I missed how important steps as the representation of the phase space or the description of Poisson brakets are introduced. I asked this question also on Physics StackExchange, but no answer so far.
