Abstract: In order to understand dynamics in the Heisenberg picture, a study is made of ordinary single particle quantum mechanics where the methods used can be compared with solving the Schroedinger equation numerically. The methods are generalized to field theory. Both analytic and numerical strategies are developed for solving the Heisenberg equations on a time lattice. The time development of an initial gaussian wave function is considered in various potentials in order to study both quantum tunnelling phenomena and the quantum roll. 9 refs., 1 fig. (LEW)
