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:
“I want relations which are not purely personal, based on purely personal qualities; but relations based upon some unanimous accord in truth or belief, and a harmony of purpose, rather than of personality. I am weary of personality.... Let us be easy and impersonal, not forever fingering over our own souls, and the souls of our acquaintances, but trying to create a new life, a new common life, a new complete tree of life from the roots that are within us.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
