Alan Weinstein studies the mathematical interface between classical mechanics and quantum mechanics, particularly symplectic geometry. His Berkeley research profile identifies this connection.[ref]

With Sean Bates, he wrote Lectures on the Geometry of Quantization by Sean Bates and Alan Weinstein. Their treatment of half-densities explains how to integrate products of wave-like objects intrinsically: the product of two half-densities is a density, giving a coordinate-independent inner product and hence a Hilbert space. This is part of the geometric infrastructure needed to relate classical phase spaces to quantum states.[ref]
