Commutator Relations
Obviously, commutator relations are quite different than in the Schrödinger picture because of the time dependency of operators. For example, consider the operators and . The time evolution of those operators depends on the Hamiltonian of the system. For the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator
The evolution of the position and momentum operators is given by:
By differentiating both equations one more time and solving them with proper initial conditions
leads to:
Now, we are ready to directly compute the commutator relations:
For, one simply gets the well-known canonical commutation relations.

Famous quotes containing the word relations:
“The land is the appointed remedy for whatever is false and fantastic in our culture. The continent we inhabit is to be physic and food for our mind, as well as our body. The land, with its tranquilizing, sanative influences, is to repair the errors of a scholastic and traditional education, and bring us to just relations with men and things.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
