Keyboard graph navigation: press N for concepts or E for relations; use arrow keys, Home, and End to move; Enter selects; Shift plus Enter selects and centers; plus and minus zoom; zero fits; Escape clears the selection. Use the visible viewport buttons as alternatives to dragging, wheel, and pinch gestures.
Select a concept
Select any concept, construction junction, or annotated relation by pointer, touch, search, or keyboard.
Construction junctions are diamonds. They show where multiple structures must coexist on the same carrier and satisfy compatibility conditions.
Move selected concept
Single-pointer and keyboard alternatives to dragging. Each activation moves the selected concept one step.

specializes to unitary quantum evolution
Authored explanation
Unitary quantum evolution is a strongly continuous one-parameter action by unitary operators; generic continuous-time dynamical systems need not be linear or unitary.
How to interpret this relation type
A more specific theory, model, entity class, or regime is obtained by restricting or extending the scope of a broader framework.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

generator of time translation
Authored explanation
A self-adjoint Hamiltonian generates unitary time evolution.
How to interpret this relation type
A theory, law, or interaction describes the behavior of the target within a stated regime. The edge detail must state important limits or qualifications.

differential evolution equation
Authored explanation
For a self-adjoint time-independent Hamiltonian, the Schrödinger equation is the differential form of the strongly continuous unitary evolution U(t)=e−itH/ℏ. Time-dependent Hamiltonians require additional domain and well-posedness hypotheses.
How to interpret this relation type
Reinterpret an object, pass to an equivalent presentation, or relate canonically corresponding structures; the carrier may change.

characterizes continuous unitary evolution
Authored explanation
Stone’s theorem establishes the correspondence between strongly continuous one-parameter unitary groups and self-adjoint generators; it is a theorem about the formalism rather than the formalism itself.
How to interpret this relation type
Record a genuine theorem implication that is not part of the target definition; these edges may point toward a weaker structure.

unitary dynamics
Authored explanation
Closed-system time evolution is represented by unitary operators.
How to interpret this relation type
A mathematical concept supplies part of the formal language, state space, representation, or analytic machinery used by a scientific or mathematical-physics concept. The source is the mathematical predecessor; this does not claim that physical content follows from mathematics alone.
