I have some difficult in reading a paper that mention operator transformation.
Do anyone what it is? Where can I refer this method? Thanks.

It is discussed in almost any textbook on quantum theory.

If you post a bit more of the context of what you're reading,
you might receive some more extensive replies.
 
books

you can study from r. shankar,quantum mech. or sakurai,j.j., modern quantum mechanics.
i prefer sakurai. its a great text.
 
Thank you for your advise.
 

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 Maxwell's electromagnetism an effective (field) theory?'

Is it possible, and fruitful, to use certain conceptual and technical tools from effective field theory (coarse-graining/integrating-out, power-counting, matching, RG) to think about the relationship between the fundamental (quantum) and the emergent (classical), both to account for the quasi-autonomy of the classical level and to quantify residual quantum corrections? By “emergent,” I mean the following: after integrating out fast/irrelevant quantum degrees of freedom (high-energy modes...
