The need for quantization was felt already around 1900, but quantum
mechanics proper started about 80 years ago. It then took half a century
to express in a mathematically and physically precise way what was
intuitively felt by many, that quantization is deformation. In the past
30 years what is now called “deformation quantization” developed and has
proved seminal in a variety of domains, from abstract mathematics to
modern theoretical physics.
The aim of this special “anniversary” issue is to present some
developments in that vast frontier area.
The issue contains 13 papers with the total of 315 pages.
We would like to thank all the authors who have published papers in
the issue, and to give our special thanks to all the referees for
providing constructive reviews.
