Quantum mechanics describes the microscopic properties of nature in a regime where classical mechanics no longer applies. It explains phenomena such as the wave-particle duality, quantization of energy, and the uncertainty principle and is generally used in single-body systems. Use the quantum-field-theory tag for the theory of many-body quantum-mechanical systems.

Proof for commutator relation $[\hat{H},\hat{a}] = - \hbar \omega \hat{a}$

Start with your $\hat{H} = \hbar \omega \left( \hat{a}^\dagger\hat{a} + \frac{1}{2} \right)$. I will omit hat notation from this point. The commutator then reads as \begin{equation} \left[ H, a \right …
