I have been trying to build a notion of state space out of a monad. I have found a paper where a state space is built from a comonad. The paper in particular is [Vicary's work](http://arxiv.org/abs/0706.0711) on the quantum harmonic oscillator. The adjunction $F = RQ$ in section 4.1, he calls a state space for multi-particle system or Fock space. This $F$ is a comonad. I guess, in short, could we put up an article for comonads as state spaces?
