Abstract
In this chapter we will enucleate the axioms of QM for the elementary system made by a non-relativistic particle, without spin, and discuss a series of important results related to the canonical commutation relations.

- 1.
If the exponentiated operators were n×n complex matrices the result would follow from
the celebrated Baker–Campbell–Hausdorff formula: e A e B = e [A,B]/2 e A+B, valid when the
matrix [A,B] commutes with both A and B.
- 2.
In such a case the concrete construction of the representation and the existence of a cyclic
vector force W(u) to be unitary.
