Number operator representation conjecture for quantized time evolution
Number operator representation conjecture for quantized time evolution
Let be a classical Hamiltonian, let be its quantization, and define
Let be the number operator and the projection associated with the quantization procedure. Number operator representation conjecture. If is physically reasonable, then is essentially self-adjoint and, for every and ,
Equivalently,
This conjecture seeks to represent the quantum evolution generated by the projected quantized Hamiltonian through a strong limit involving the more familiar number operator, without explicitly inserting the projection . The source does not specify what counts as physically reasonable or provide evidence resolving the conjecture.
