The Heisenberg Picture

Abstract

The Heisenberg picture is an equivalent reformulation of the standard quantum theory, which in the present context is referred to as the Schrodinger picture and which is what we have seen so far in this book. However, the Heisenberg picture can muddle up the intuitions of quantum theory that you may have acquired from learning the Schrodinger picture. This should be an important lesson to those who think that ‘quantum intuition’ is easily attainable.
