"The Heisenberg picture does not distinguish time from space, so it is better for relativistic theories than the Schrödinger equation", says Wikipedia's entry on Matrix Mechanics.
Since the Heisenberg equation of motion
[tex]
\frac {dA}{dt} = \frac {i}{\hbar} [H,A] + \frac {\partial A}{\partial t}
[/tex]
contains time derivatives but no space derivatives, how is this not distinguishing time from space?
