hermitian operators

Hermitian operators are a type of linear operator in quantum mechanics. They are related to observables in quantum systems, representing physical quantities that can be measured. Hermitian operators have two key properties: they are self-adjoint and have real eigenvalues. The self-adjoint property ensures that their adjoint is equal to themselves, while the real eigenvalues property ensures that their measurable values are real numbers. These operators play a crucial role in quantum mechanics, as they allow for the description and analysis of quantum phenomena.
