Graduate How to systematically find the symmetry operator given a Hamiltonian?

Click For Summary
To systematically find the symmetry operator given a Hamiltonian, specific details about the Hamiltonian are essential. The discussion emphasizes that without knowledge of the Hamiltonian's terms and their interactions, deriving equations 2.2 and 2.5 is not feasible. The lack of context makes it challenging to provide a concrete answer. Understanding the structure of the Hamiltonian is crucial for the derivation process. Ultimately, detailed information about the Hamiltonian is necessary for accurate derivation of the equations.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to answer this question without more specific information on the Hamiltonian being referred to. In order to derive equations 2.2 and 2.5, you need to know what terms are present in the Hamiltonian and how they interact with each other. Without this information, it is impossible to derive the equations.
 
I am slowly going through the book 'What Is a Quantum Field Theory?' by Michel Talagrand. I came across the following quote: One does not" prove” the basic principles of Quantum Mechanics. The ultimate test for a model is the agreement of its predictions with experiments. Although it may seem trite, it does fit in with my modelling view of QM. The more I think about it, the more I believe it could be saying something quite profound. For example, precisely what is the justification of...
