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:

    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)

    In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

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