Definition

A symmetry concept defining transformations that leave key properties of a quantum system invariant. It governs conserved quantities, degeneracies, and selection rules through the action of generators and representations. It does not imply exact invariance when symmetry-breaking terms or boundary effects are present in the Hamiltonian.
