Complex symmetric operators
... from the fact that an operator is a CSO if and only if it has a symmetric (i.e., self-transpose) matrix representation with respect to some orthonormal basis [10]. In the above it is important to note that C is conjugate-linear and thus the study of complex symmetric operators is quite distinct from ...

... In non-relativistic quantum mechanics the space of states for a fixed number of particles, n, is called a “Hilbert space”, and in the representation in which the particles are described by their momenta we would write such a state as |p1 , p2 , · · · pn i. The number of particles described by all of ...

... It happens that it is not exactly the definitions of the Pi and Qi which is important, but the relations above. Indeed, a change of coordinates P 0 (P, Q), Q0 (P, Q) will give rise to the same motion equations if and only if P 0 and Q0 satisfy the relations above. In quantum mechanics it is essentia ...
