Boundary Quantum Mechanics

A reformulation of a physical theory in which measurements at the initial and final moments of time are treated independently is discussed, both on the classical and quantum levels. Methods of the standard quantum mechanics are used to quantize boundary phase space to obtain boundary quantum mechanics -- a theory that does not depend on the distinction between the initial and final moments of time, a theory that can be formulated without reference to the causal structure. As a supplementary material, the geometrical description of quantization of a general (e.g. curved) configuration space is presented.
