• Abstract: In this work we take a closer look at the algebraic-operator correspondence between the momentum ($k$) space and the position ($x$) space which gives us the form of the momentum operator in position space and vice versa in Quantum Mechanics. Taking the definition of the Fourier Transform as the starting point, we present a two parameter generalisation of the form of the momentum operator in position space followed by a generalisation of the momentum eigenfunctions and a few other results. It is also seen that the results obtained here have a well defined limit to the standard results of Quantum Mechanics.

  We construct the algebra of operators acting on the Hilbert spaces of Quantum Mechanics for systems of $N$ identical particles. We provide the explicit relation between the position and momentum operators acting in the former spaces and the field operators acting on the latter. It may not be possible to extend the procedure to interacting field theories since it relies crucially on particle number conservation.
