Correspondence rule
In
quantum mechanics
,
correspondence
rules
govern the
principle
of
replacing
physical quantities
with
operators
.
Such
replacements
include
energy
and
momentum
, which can be
derived
informally from
taking
the
time and space
derivities of
the plane
wave function
. These
show
a
similarity
to the
Heisenberg uncertainty principle
.
Examples
of correspondence rules include:
Quantity
Operator
Energy
Momentum
