The problem of the commutator of Hermitian operators

1.9k Views Asked by At

Well, I'm a little confused. Suppose we have three Hermitian operators

$\widehat A = \widehat A^{\dagger}$

$\widehat B = \widehat B^{\dagger}$

$\widehat C = \widehat C^{\dagger}$.

We know that $[\widehat A, \widehat B] = i \widehat C $ and $[\widehat A,\widehat C] = 0$.

So, we know that $\widehat A f(a) = a f(a) $ because it's its own representation.

But what about $\widehat B f(a) = ?$

I am sure that I can make some statement from above commutation properties. But I can't write smth expect well-known bacics.
