Heisenberg cut we represent mathematically as a wave function. This function, according to quantum theory, consists of a differential equation which determines any future state from the present state of the function... The dividing line between the system to be observed and the measuring apparatus is immediately defined by the nature of the problem but it obviously signifies no discontinuity of the physical process. For this reason there must, within limits, exist complete freedom in choosing the position of the dividing line." Heisenberg cut In quantum mechanics, a Heisenberg cut is the hypothetical interface between quantum events and an observer's information, knowledge,
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
