dc.descriptionDynamical systems can be quantised only if they are Hamiltonian. This prompts the question from which our talk gets its title. We show how the simple predator-prey equation and the damped harmonic oscillator can be considered to be Hamiltonian with respect to an infinite number of non-standard Poisson brackets. This raises some interesting questions about the nature of quantisation. Questions which are valid even for flows which possess a canonical structure.
