A Hermitian matrix is a matrix that is equal to its conjugate transpose. This generalizes the concept of a "symmetric matrix", since every real symmetric matrix is Hermitian. However, …

Jul 24, 2014 · [SIZE="4"]Definition/Summary The Hermitian transpose or Hermitian conjugate (or conjugate transpose) M^ {\dagger} of a matrix M is the complex conjugate...

Sep 26, 2019 · Thanks! This makes more sense, I forgot A and B were also hermitian in this problem. I appreciate the additional elaboration.

In any reasonable sense, symmetric=hermitian=self-adjoint. For genuinely unbounded operators, symmetric does not imply self-adjoint, and, unless the thing is already self-adjoint, its adjoint is …

Jun 24, 2016 · Hermitian operators (or more correctly in the infinite dimensional case, self-adjoint operators) are used not because measurements must use real numbers, but rather because …

I am struggling with the concept of hermitian operators, symmetric operators and self adjoint operators. All of the relevant material seems quite self contradictory, and the only notes I have …

Hermitian matrices are precisely the matrices admitting a complete set of orthonormal eigenvectors such that the corresponding eigenvalues are real. So unitary Hermitian matrices …

Suppose there is a hermitian matrix. Then, Can we always find out orthonormal basis for this matrix ? And, Is there any relationship between hermitian matrix and hermitian transformation? …

A sesquilinear form with the property $\langle x,y\rangle = \overline {\langle y,x \rangle}$ is called hermitian. Since we have extra terminology it would seem that one would define a sesquilinear …
