I am looking for a simple way to understand why do we need infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces in physics, and when exactly do they become neccessary: in classical, quantum, or relativistic quantum physics (i.e. when particles can be created and destroyed)?
I would like to understand both physical interpretation and the mathematical point of view - what exactly becomes ill defined in the mathematical formalism - is it the commuation relation for quantum mechanics or something else?
