Heisenberg picture Heisenberg picture In physics, the Heisenberg picture (also called the Heisenberg representation) is a formulation (largely due to Werner Heisenberg in 1925) of quantum mechanics in which the operators (observables and others) incorporate a dependency on time, but the state vectors are time-independent, an arbitrary fixed basis rigidly underlying the theory. It stands in contrast to the Schrödinger picture in which the operators are constant, instead, and the states evolve in time. The two pictures only differ by a basis change with respect to time-dependency, which corresponds to the difference between active and passive transformations. The Heisenberg picture is the
DMRG of the Heisenberg model for example: formula_68 formula_69 formula_70 formula_71 Now, form the formula_72 matrix representations of the new block and universe-block operators, form a new block by changing basis with the transformation formula_58, for example: formula_74 At this point the iteration is ended and the algorithm goes back to step 1. The algorithm stops successfully when the observable converges to some value. DMRG of the Heisenberg model Within the study of the quantum many-body problem in physics, the DMRG analysis of the Heisenberg model is an important theoretical example applying techniques of the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) to the Heisenberg model of
