Hermitian Matrix - Examples

Examples

For example,

\begin{bmatrix}3&2+i\\
2-i&1\end{bmatrix}.

Well-known families of Pauli matrices, Gell-Mann matrices and various generalizations are Hermitian. In theoretical physics such Hermitian matrices usually are multiplied by imaginary coefficients, which results in skew-Hermitian matrices (see below).

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)

    Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)
