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 'Schrödinger equation and classical wave equation'

Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...

Thread 'Is a table levitating possible, even at a minuscule probability?'

I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
