Heisenberg picture formulation of matrix mechanics in an arbitrary basis, in which the Hamiltonian is not necessarily diagonal. It further serves to define a third, hybrid, picture, the interaction picture. In the Heisenberg picture of quantum mechanics the state vectors, |"ψ("t")"〉, do not change with time, while observables satisfy where is the Hamiltonian and <nowiki>[•,•]</nowiki> denotes the commutator of two operators (in this case and ). Taking expectation values automatically yields the Ehrenfest theorem, featured in the correspondence principle. By the Stone–von Neumann theorem, the Heisenberg picture and the Schrödinger picture are unitarily equivalent, just a basis change in Hilbert space. In
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
