Canonical Quantization: Steps to Find iħ

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the steps needed to derive the canonical quantization relation [q^,p^]=iħ, where q^ represents the coordinate operator and p^ the momentum operator. Participants emphasize the necessity of a complete problem statement to provide accurate guidance. There is a call for the original poster to fill out the entire homework template for clarity. The focus remains on understanding the derivation process leading to the result of iħ in quantum mechanics. Clear communication of the problem is essential for effective assistance.

Homework Statement


For the canonically quantized operators, what are the step in between? how do you get the answer iħ?
[q^,p^]=iħ
q^ is the coordinate and p^ is the momentum.

@Wadih Hanache , your problem statement is incomplete. What is the actual problem you are trying to solve?

Also, you need to fill out the rest of the homework template, not just the first part.
 

Thread 'Two equivalent statements of time reversal symmetric Hamiltonian'

Time reversal invariant Hamiltonians must satisfy ##[H,\Theta]=0## where ##\Theta## is time reversal operator. However, in some texts (for example see Many-body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics an introduction, HENRIK BRUUS and KARSTEN FLENSBERG, Corrected version: 14 January 2016, section 7.1.4) the time reversal invariant condition is introduced as ##H=H^*##. How these two conditions are identical?
