Question

Difference between hamiltonian and energy operator

Answer 1

They are both sides to the same equation. Hamiltonian = H and total energy

Answer 2

Answer:

Hamiltonian is very general function than energy. It is equal to the energy of a system, when you are considering system to be i)conservative or in time independent potential and most importantly, ii) its Hamiltonian does not depend on the time explicitly. Hamiltonian is very general function than energy.
