16. The quantization of a driving external system has been taken into account in the context of molecular physics. In that scenario the "slow degrees of freedom" of the molecules play the role of external fields for the "fast degrees of freedom"; see, for example, C.A. Mead, Rev. Mod. Phys. 64, 51 (1992); B.K. Kendrick, J. Chem. Phys. 112, 5679 (2000).
