Symmetry in quantum physics ( E. Wigner, 1930 … ) U: unitary operator
Eugene Wigner Nobel prize 1964
Poincare group P:- time translations -- spacetranslations -- rotationsofspace -- „rotation“ betweentime andspace -
e.g. rotationsofspace: - - SO(3)< P
symmetry U The operator U commutes with the Hamiltonoperator H: If U acts on a wave function with a specific energy, the new wave function must have the same energy ( degenerate energy levels ).
