Abstract
A phase-space Poisson-bracket structure induced by the Schrödinger equation is addressed in order to show the existence of a phase space representation of quantum dynamics where action-angle variables can be defined. Quantum dynamics can be embedded into a classical picture of coupled harmonic oscillators in phase space, providing for an internal contextual hidden variable theory. This approach also provides for a natural scenario in order to understand the different manifestations of phase space structures in quantum mechanics as well as to study the ocurrence of chaotic phenomena in the classical limit.
