LINEAR ALGEBRA: Vector spaces AND OPERATORS B. Zwiebach October 21, 2013 Contents 1 Vector spaces and dimensionality 1 2 Linear operators and matrices 5 3 Eigenvalues and eigenvectors 11 4 Inner products 14 5 Orthonormal basis and orthogonal projectors 18 6 Linear functionals and adjoint operators 20 7 Hermitian and Unitary operators 24 1 Vector spaces and dimensionality In quantum mechanics the state of a physical system is a Vector in a complex Vector space. Observables are linear operators, in fact, Hermitian operators acting on this complex Vector space. The purpose of this chapter is to learn the basics of Vector spaces , the structures that can be built on those spaces , and the operators that act on them. Complex Vector spaces are somewhat different from the more familiar real Vector spaces . I would say they have more powerful properties.
In quantum mechanics the state of a physical system is a vector in a complex vector space. Observables ... The dimension of a finite-dimensional vector space is given by the length of any list of basis vectors. One can also show that for a finite dimensional vector space a list of vectors of length dimV is a basis if it is linearly ...
