Continuous-time dynamical systemUnitary time evolution

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

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.

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

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.

Schrödinger equationUnitary time evolution

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

Authored explanation

For a self-adjoint time-independent Hamiltonian, the Schrödinger equation is the differential form of the strongly continuous unitary evolution U(t)=eitH/U(t)=e^{-itH/\hbar}. 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.

Stone theoremUnitary time evolution

Permalink to relation

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

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.

This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.

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.
