canonical transformations in quantum mechanics
Canonical transformations in quantum mechanics refer to mathematical operations that preserve the fundamental structure of a quantum system. These transformations are used to convert the equations of motion describing a system from one set of variables to another, while ensuring that the physical observables, such as energy and momentum, remain invariant. This allows for a different perspective or representation of the system, while maintaining the same underlying dynamics and physical properties.
