Abstract
The problem of a correct description of phase variable in quantum mechanics has been revisited. The existence of a unique, consistent definition for the quantum phase of the harmonic oscillator is shown starting from the correspondence principle and Born's statistical rule. Connections with existing approaches are also reported.
