Who said there is a problem with the Heisenberg picture? This is about the equivalence of the the pictures.
That's what I mean. There is no problem with the equivalence of the Heisenberg picture and the Schrödinger picture. Once you have a self-adjoint Hamiltonian (which you have, by the axioms of QM), you automatically get a unitary time-evolution operator for free and you can define ##A(t) := U^\dagger(t) A U(t)##, which defines your Heisenberg observables. You can recover the Schrödinger picture by doing the inverse transformation, which is also well-defined, since ##U(t)## is invertible (##U(t)^{-1}=U(-t)##). The Stone-von Neumann theorem is only relevant at the point, where you don't yet have a Hilbert space and operators on it, but rather some abstract *-algebra. Once you have a Hilbert space and operators, you are not working with the abstract *-algebra anymore, so the Stone-von Neumann theorem becomes useless.
Certainly is not relevant if what you think is being discussed here is some problem with the Heisenberg problem. But actually this thread has nothing to do with that, and all sources coincide that the S-vN theorem is relevant wrt the equivalence of representations in QM.
The equivalence of different representations of the CCR or the Weyl algebra has nothing to do with the equivalence of the Schrödinger picture and the Heisenberg picture. You are probably confusing these two things. Once we have chosen a representation of the CCR or Weyl algebra, we don't care about their uniqueness anymore. The uniqueness is relevant
before we make a choice of representation. But historically, we have always been working with the Schrödinger representation already and there is no demand for another representation. (In fact, in loop quantum cosmology, people are working with non strongly continuous representations of the Weyl algebra, which are not excluded by the Stone-von Neumann theorem.)
This is quite confusing, again this is about equivalence of representations, what difference does it make if the Schrödinger rep. works fine? The equivalence is a necessary feature per the mathematical model.
Again, I am already talking about the equivalence of the pictures. The Heisenberg picture and the Schrödinger picture are both using the Schrödinger representation (which is the unique strongly continuous representation of the Weyl algebra, but that is irrelevant, since we are not planning to use a different representation anyway). If we chose a different representation, we could still talk about the Schrödinger and Heisenberg picture within that representation and all you need to switch between them is a self-adjoint Hamiltonian.
At this point I don't know what you are saying the Haag's theorem is not related to. Certainly is not related to any problem with the Heisenberg picture, on the contrary the Heisenberg picture is preferred in QFT. Precisely the chage of time from parameter to dimension, while spacetime position is not an operator makes manifest the problem with the interaction Hamiltonian.
I was referring to your reply to atyy, where you started to mention the interaction picture, which is neither the Schrödinger picture nor the Heisenberg picture. Since Haags theorem (which you mentioned in that post) refers to the interaction picture only, it is not relevant to the equivalence of the Heisenberg picture and the Schrödinger picture. Also, the problem with the interacting Hamiltonian in QFT is not due to the time variable. Actually Haags theorem requires only spatial translation invariance in its proof.
