    More specifically, for any displacement vector, there is a corresponding translation operator ^ that shifts particles and fields by the amount . For example, if T ^ ( x ) {\displaystyle {\hat {T}}(\mathbf {x} )} acts on a particle located at position r {\displaystyle \mathbf {r} } , the result is a particle at position r + x {\displaystyle ...
