In some sense, these operators play the role of the real numbers (being equal to their own complex conjugate) and form a real vector space. They serve as the ...

In quantum mechanics, Hermitian operators are used to represent observable quantities, like momentum, position, and energy. The eigenvalues of these operators ...

Hermitian Operators. A physical variable must have real expectation values (and eigenvalues). This implies that the operators representing physical ...

We first introduce a notation that is due to Dirac. The idea is to reduce notational clutter and give more prominence to the labels identifying the ...
