The evolution of a quantum state is unitary, and the basis one expands a state can be transformed by unitary operations. The Schroedinger equation can be thought of as a differential equation with solutions that are time dependent transformations of the basis of a state vector. My sense in looking at these comments and the corrections Bruce and Brent write indicate some levels of confusion. If one is asking questions such as AGs above they need to take some time to read carefully a text on quantum mechanics, try to work some problems the text might offer up and think hard on this. A forum like this simply can't provide that, and for myself I do not have time to write 1000 word essays every day on this. None of this comes really easily and to really understand these things it will take some investment of time and effort.
