{{Short description|Mathematical theorem}} In [[mathematics]] and in [[theoretical physics]], the '''Stone–von Neumann theorem''' refers to any one of a number of different formulations of the [[uniqueness quantification|uniqueness]] of the [[canonical commutation relation]]s between [[position (vector)|position]] and [[momentum]] [[operator (physics)|operator]]s. It is named after [[Marshall Stone]] and [[John von Neumann]].<ref>{{Citation | last1=von Neumann | first1=J. | author1-link=John von Neumann | title=Die Eindeutigkeit der Schrödingerschen Operatoren | publisher=Springer Berlin / Heidelberg | doi=10.1007/BF01457956 | year=1931 | journal=[[Mathematische Annalen]] | issn=0025-5831 | volume=104 | pages=570–578| s2cid=120528257 }}</ref><ref>{{Citation | last1= von Neumann | first1=J. | author1-link=John von Neumann | title=Ueber Einen Satz Von Herrn M.
