Abstract
The problem of a correct description of phase variable in quantum mech anics has been revisited. The existence of a unique, consistent defini tion for the quantum phase of the harmonic oscillator is shown startin g from the correspondence principle and Born's statistical rule. Conne ctions with existing approaches are also reported.
