Operator methods in quantum mechanics
Operator methods in quantum mechanics While the wave mechanical formulation has proved successful in describing the quantum mechanics of bound and unbound particles some properties can not be represented through a wave-like description For example the electron spin degree of freedom does not translate to the action of a gradient operator

Postulates of Quantum Mechanics Postulate 1 •The “Wave Function” Ψ( x y z t ) fully characterizes a quantum mechanical particle including it’s position movement and temporal properties • Ψ( x y z t ) replaces the dynamical variables used in classical mechanics and fully describes a quantum mechanical particle
What is operator representation in quantum field theory?
In fact, operator representation achieves something remarkable and far-reaching: the quantum harmonic oscillator describes motion of a single particle in a confining potential. Eigenvalues turn out to be equally spaced, cf. ladder of states. lends itself to further generalization in quantum field theory.
Which operators are linear in quantum mechanics?
The operators we shall meet in quantum mechanics are all linear. A linear operator is one for which where a and b are constants and f and g are functions. Multiplication is a linear operation; so is differentiation and integration.
Why do we use Operator Methods in quantum physics?
Operator methods allow us to expose the symmetry content of quantum systems – providing classification of degenerate submanifolds and multiplets. Operator methods can provide insight into dynamical properties of quantum systems without having to resolve eigenstates.
How can quantum mechanics be developed?
Much of quantum mechanics can be developed in terms of an abstract set of operators, as we shall see later. However, it is often fruitful to adopt an explicit form for particular operators and to express them in terms of the mathematical operations of multiplication, differentiation, and so on.
