How is the Schrodinger equation related to the Heisenberg equation?

In summary, the Schrödinger equation and the Heisenberg equation are two different formulations of quantum mechanics that describe the evolution of states and operators, respectively. In the Schrödinger picture, states evolve while operators remain constant, while in the Heisenberg picture, it is the opposite. Both equations are equivalent and can be found in most textbooks on quantum mechanics.

You marked this thread as "A" level. That indicates that you have a graduate level background in the subject matter. If you do have such a background, you should already know the answer to this question.

What is your actual background in QM?

And in the meantime, the thread level has been set to "I", perhaps more appropriate for the question.

Should be treated in all QM textbooks I guess (like Sakurai, Shankar). In the Schrödinger picture, the states evolove and operators do not, in the Heisenberg picture it is the other way around. Thus, the Schrödinger equation deals with the time evolution of states, and the Heisenberg equation deals with the time evolution of operators.
