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.
