Interaction picture on Dirac picture

The Dirac picture is sort of intermediary between the Schrodinger picture and

the Heisenberg picture as both the quantum states and the operators carry
time dependence

We consider a Hamiltonian It much that it can be split into two parts

It II try
where Ito does not contain time explicitly Ito's is called unperturbed or free Itamitonian

In absence of kin the energy eigenkets my with energy eigenvalues En can be defined

by HIM ESIN
are completely known

We may be interested in situations where initially only one of the energy eigenstates of It
for example lip is populated As time goes on however the states otherthan lip are

populated because with Vit 0 hence we are no longer dealingwith stationary problems
