Intro to Quantum Mechanics I
In quantum mechanics, a commutator is a mathematical operator that measures the degree to which two observables, represented by operators, fail to commute. Specifically, for two operators 'a' and 'b', the commutator is defined as [a, b] = ab - ba. This concept is crucial for understanding the relationship between observables and their compatibility, impacting how they can be simultaneously measured.
congrats on reading the definition of Commutator. now let's actually learn it.
