| Apr 3, 2020 at 20:46 | comment | added | Mew | @Javier: That makes sense for the most part. However, in the derivation of the theorem, we see terms of the form $\left<\frac{\partial\Psi}{\partial t}\mid\hat Q\Psi\right>$ and $\left<\Psi\mid\hat Q\frac{\partial\Psi}{\partial t}\right>$. I guess those don't count as expectation values of operators, then (just inner products between two functions)? Edit: you may add your comment as an answer below, and I will accept it. | |
