The correct name is the "Schrödinger picture", not the "Schrödinger representation." In quantum mechanics, the "Schrödinger representation" refers to another thing (namely where a position operator is realized as a multiplication operator, and a momentum operators is realized as a differential operator.) "Schrödinger picture" is mentioned in a comment but it should be the other way around, i.e., the title should be "Schrödinger picture", and the "Schrödinger representation" could (perhaps) be mentioned in a comment. Similarly, the correct name is the "Heisenberg picture", not the "Heisenberg representation". And the correct name is the "interaction picture", not the "interaction representation".

The correct name is the "Schrödinger picture", not the "Schrödinger representation." In quantum mechanics, the "Schrödinger representation" refers to another thing (namely where a position operator is realized as a multiplication operator, and a momentum operators is realized as a differential operator.) "Schrödinger picture" is mentioned in a comment but it should be the other way around, i.e., the title should be "Schrödinger picture", and the "Schrödinger representation" could (perhaps) be mentioned in a comment. Similarly, the correct name is the "Heisenberg picture", not the "Heisenberg representation". And the correct name is the "interaction picture", not the "interaction representation". References: See. e.g. J.J. Sakurai, "Modern Quantum Mechanics", and many other textbooks on quantum mechanics.

I agree. Would you like to make the needed changes yourself?
