Interaction picture as any other operator. In particular, let and be the density matrices in the interaction picture and the Schrödinger picture respectively. If there is probability to be in the physical state |"ψ"〉, then Transforming the Schrödinger equation into the interaction picture gives which states that in the interaction picture, a quantum state is evolved by the interaction part of the Hamiltonian as expressed in the interaction picture. If the operator "A" is time-independent (i.e., does not have "explicit time dependence"; see above), then the corresponding time evolution for "A"("t") is given by In the interaction picture the operators evolve in
Moment (physics) Moment (physics) In physics, a moment is an expression involving the product of a distance and another physical quantity, and in this way it accounts for how the physical quantity is located or arranged. Moments are usually defined with respect to a fixed reference point; they deal with physical quantities as measured at some distance from that reference point. For example, the moment of force acting on an object, often called torque, is the product of the force and the distance to the object (i.e., the reference point). In principle, any physical quantity can be multiplied by distance to produce
