Canonical Quantum Gravity

Canonical Quantum Gravity is a theoretical framework within quantum gravity that formulates the quantization of general relativity by applying canonical quantization methods to the Hamiltonian formulation of spacetime dynamics, distinguishing itself from covariant approaches through its reliance on a foliation of spacetime into spatial hypersurfaces and the imposition of constraints reflecting diffeomorphism invariance.
