Relativity of representations in quantum mechanics
arXiv:quant-ph/0109129 · doi:10.1119/1.1419100
Abstract
Only the position representation is used in introductory quantum mechanics and the momentum representation is not usually presented until advanced undergraduate courses. To emphasize the relativity of the representations of the abstract formulation of quantum mechanics, two examples of representations related to the operators aX+(1-a)P and (XP+PX)/2 are presented.
