What are the properties of Hermitian operators All quantum mechanical operators should be Hermitian operators. Why?
3. (5 points) Chapter 3. #4 (modified). Prove the following properties related to Hermitian operators: (a) If Ô and 6 are Hermitian, so is Ê + 0. (b) If z is any complex number and if Ô is Hermitian, then zÔ is Hermitian if and only if z is real. (c) If Ê and Ộ are Hermitian and if they commute, the Ộ Ô is Hermitian. In your proof, indicate explicitly which step requires the two operators to commute. (d)...
2. Which of the operators Sx, Sy, S, (if any) are Hermitian? Do the Hermitian operators have real eigenvalues, as expected?
2. Schrodinger equation In quantum mechanics, physical quantities cor- respond to Hermitian operators. In particular, the total energy of the system corresponds to the Hamiltonian operator H, which is a hermitian operator The 'state of the system' is a time dependent vector in an inner product space, l(t)). The state of the system obeys the Schrodinger equation We assume that there are no time-varying external forces on the system, so that the Hamiltonian operator H is not itself time-dependent a)...
2 (a) Consider two observables represented by operators A and B. Show that it is possible B if and only if A commutes with B to choose a complete set of eigenfunctions which are sharp in both A and For simplicity, you may assume that the eigenvalues of A are non-degenerate.
