Heisenberg picture once more and solving for them with proper initial conditions, leads to Direct computation yields the more general commutator relations, For formula_26, one simply recovers the standard canonical commutation relations valid in all pictures. For a time-independent Hamiltonian "H", 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
Heisenberg group a group, as is shown by the multiplication: and The Heisenberg group is a simply-connected Lie group whose Lie algebra consists of matrices where By letting e, ..., e be the canonical basis of R, and setting the associated Lie algebra can be characterized by the canonical commutation relations, where "p", ..., "p", "q", ..., "q", "z" are the algebra generators. In particular, "z" is a "central" element of the Heisenberg Lie algebra. Note that the Lie algebra of the Heisenberg group is nilpotent. The exponential map is given by the following expression The exponential map of a nilpotent Lie
