The derivative of the Green's function is:
<br /> i \dfrac{dG_{A,B}(t)}{dt} =\delta(t) \left&lt; {[A,B]}\right&gt;+G_{[A,H],B}(t)<br />
the Fourier transform is:
<br /> \omega G_{A,B}(t)=\left&lt; {[A,B]}\right&gt;+G_{[A,H],B}(\omega)<br />
but this would require that the Green's function is 0 for t->inf. Why is that the case? It is clear that it must vanish at t->-inf because of the heaviside function but not at inf.
 
Can you mention the source of these equations. I have never seen such form of the Green's function and would love to know more about it.
Anyways, second equation seems wrong. Instead of
<br /> \omega G_{A,B}(t)=\left&lt; {[A,B]}\right&gt;+G_{[A,H],B}(\omega)<br />
you should have
<br /> \omega \tilde{G}_{A,B}(\omega)=\left&lt; {[A,B]}\right&gt;+G_{[A,H],B}(\omega)<br />
where
<br /> \tilde{G}_{A,B}(\omega)=\int dt G_{A,B}(t)e^{+i\omega t}<br />
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
