A special case of the "Remodeling Conjecture" in Gromov-Witten theory is a particular counting problem of Hurwitz covers. Amazingly, the essence of the conjecture is actually the prediction that if you know how to count trees, then you can solve the problem of counting Hurwitz covers. I will explain this process, which is the "quantization" procedure.
