Twistor theory and quantum mechanics

Il Nuovo Cimento B Series 11, 1975
Quantization in twistor theory is compared with ordinary quantization. We first summarize the twistor theory of Penrose. Then we rewrite the commutation rules [pμ,xμ]=−4i in twistor notation. By comparison these two theories are shown to disagree. The agreement is possible by introducing a non-Hermitian position operator.

Bi-twistors: An extension of twistor theory for general spacetimes

International Journal of Modern Physics D
Twistor theory was initially developed to describe the geometry of Minkowski spacetime in terms of its null geodesics. The natural generalization to curved spacetimes requires the ubiquitous existence of alpha-planes, this requiring the Weyl curvature to be anti-self-dual, which for a real spacetime implies conformal flatness.
