D.35 The evolution of expectation values
To verify the stated formulae for the evolution of expectation values,
just write the definition of expectation value,
, differentiate to get
and replace by on account of the Schrödinger
equation. Note that in the first inner product, the appears in
the left part, hence comes out as its complex conjugate .
