operator representing the total energy of a quantum system, named after William Rowan Hamilton

Also known as quantum Hamiltonian

Description

In quantum mechanics, this is the operator representing the total energy of a quantum system, thus giving the possible outcomes of energy measurements as well as its time evolution.

Defining Formula: $\hat{H}=\hat{T}+\hat{V}$

$\hat{H}$ symbol represents Hamiltonian operator

$\hat{T}$ symbol represents kinetic energy operator

$\hat{V}$ symbol represents potential energy operator
