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
The Tao of Physics from any relation to the reality that in 1983 the standard model was nearly universally accepted in the physics community, and the bootstrap theory was a dead idea ... Even now, Capra's book, with its nutty denials of what has happened in particle theory, can be found selling well at every major bookstore. It has been joined by some other books on the same topic, most notably Gary Zukav's "The Dancing Wu-Li Masters". The bootstrap philosophy, despite its complete failure as a physical theory, lives on as part of an embarrassing New Age cult, with its followers refusing to acknowledge
