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 interest in life does not lie in what people do, nor even in their relations to each other, but largely in the power to communicate with a third party, antagonistic, enigmatic, yet perhaps persuadable, which one may call life in general.”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
