Computed Derivative (pic) d/dt <Â> (pic)
Discovered/Introduced Commutator
Cpmpatible Observables occur when commutator is equal to 0.
[Ĥ,Â] = ĤÂ - ÂĤ
Constant of Motion
------------------
if d/dt  = 0 and [Ĥ,Â] = 0,
then  is a constant of motion
Thm: Two operators such that [Â,B̂] always have common Eigenstates
