Abstract
Quantum theory was originally formulated as a non-relativistic theory. It was assumed that there was a “preferred” coordinate frame that labeled each point in the 4D space-time by three spatial coordinates x, y, and z, plus a time variable t. The quantum state of the full physical universe was defined at each time t, and it evolved from an earlier time t1 to a later time t2 by the action of well defined (unitary) operator U(t2, t1).
