You marked this thread as "A" level. That indicates that you have a graduate level background in the subject matter. If you do have such a background, you should already know the answer to this question.

What is your actual background in QM?
 
And in the meantime, the thread level has been set to "I", perhaps more appropriate for the question.
 
Should be treated in all QM textbooks I guess (like Sakurai, Shankar). In the Schrödinger picture, the states evolove and operators do not, in the Heisenberg picture it is the other way around. Thus, the Schrödinger equation deals with the time evolution of states, and the Heisenberg equation deals with the time evolution of operators.

Thread 'Prof Mike Wiest's proposed link between quantum and consciousness'

I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...

Thread 'Is It Known For Sure Infinites In QFT Are Caused Using a Continuum?'

I am reading WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians. The author states (2.4 Finite versus Continuous Models) that the use of continuity causes the infinities in QFT: 'Mathematicians are trained to think of physical space as R3. But our continuous model of physical space as R3 is of course an idealization, both at the scale of the very large and at the scale of the very small. This idealization has proved to be very powerful, but in the case of Quantum...
