contents We review the Landau problem of an electron in a constant uniform magnetic field. The magnetic translations are the invariant transformations of the free Hamiltonian. A Kähler polarization of the plane has been used for the geometric quantization. Under the assumption of quasi-periodicity of the wavefunction the magnetic translations in the Bravais lattice generate a non-commutative quantum torus. We concentrate on the case when the magnetic flux density is a rational number. The Bloch wavefunctions form a finite-dimensional module of the noncommutative torus of magnetic translations as well as of its commutant which is the non-commutative torus of magnetic translation in the dual Bravais lattice. The bi-module structure of the Bloch waves is shown to be the connecting link between two Morita equivalent non-commutative tori.
