Stone–von Neumann theorem

ID: stone-von-neumann-theorem

The Stone–von Neumann theorem is a significant result in the theory of representations of groups, particularly in the context of quantum mechanics and mathematical physics. It pertains to the representation of the canonical commutation relations (CCR) associated with the position and momentum operators in quantum mechanics. **Statement of the Theorem:** The Stone–von Neumann theorem states that, under certain conditions, any two irreducible representations of the canonical commutation relations are unitarily equivalent.
