Consider the one-dimensional motion of a particle of mass ? in a space where uniform gravitational acceleration ? exists. Take the vertical axis ?. Using Heisenberg's equation of motion, find the position-dependent operators ? ? and momentum arithmetic operator ?? in Heisenberg display that depend on time. In addition, calculate ??, ?0, ??, ?0.
the Heisenberg equation of motion is
here the Schrodinger hamiltonian is
here it has no implicit time-dependence so the second term in the Heisenberg equation vanishes. to change from Schrodinger to Heisenberg hamiltonian we just need to replace the operators
now using Heisenberg equation
since [x, f(x)]=0
so our first equation is
now using the operator of momentum P
so the second equation is
differentiating (A) again wrt time and substituting (B) in it
integrating both sides two times
which is similar to our kinematic equation S= Ut + (1/2) a t^2
so at t=0 is the initial position
now we can put the value of x(t) in the equation (A) in order to obtain P(t)
so at t=0
is the intial momentum
