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 given action of the central Lie algebra element "z", up to a unitary equivalence: the nontrivial elements of the algebra are all equivalent to the usual position and momentum operators. Thus, the Schrödinger picture and Heisenberg picture are equivalent – they are just different ways of realizing this essentially unique representation. The same uniqueness result was used by David Mumford for discrete Heisenberg groups, in his theory of equations defining abelian varieties. This is a large generalization of the approach used in Jacobi's elliptic functions, which is the case of the modulo 2 Heisenberg group, of order 8. The simplest
