A unitary operator U U does indeed satisfy U∗U = I U ∗ U = I, and therefore in particular is an isometry. However, unitary operators must also be surjective (by definition), and are therefore isometric and …

Unitary matrices are the complex versions, and they are the matrix representations of linear maps on complex vector spaces that preserve "complex distances". If you have a complex vector space then …

Dec 15, 2025 · In other words, the well-known connection between unitary transformations and unitary matrices works with respect to any inner product (and its orthonormal bases).

Jan 13, 2021 · As such, for unitary A A, there is one singular subspace consisting of all vectors, and a singular value decomposition can be constructed by any unitary matrix U U whose columns will form …

1 Let K ∈ {R,C} K ∈ {R, C} be either the field of real numbers R R or the field of complex numbers C C. Definition (Unitary matrix). A unitary matrix is a square matrix U ∈ Kn×n U ∈ K n × n such that U∗U =I …

Nov 7, 2016 · The result does not give me the diagonal matrix with the desired eigenvalues though. Also, Google search did not yield a single nicely explained way to do a unitary transform of a normal …

are both unitary and Hermitian (for 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2π 0 ≤ θ ≤ 2 π). I call the latter type trivial, since its columns equal to plus/minus columns of the identity matrix. Do such matrices have any significance (in theory …

So I'm trying to understand why the columns of a unitary matrix form an orthonormal basis. I know it has something to do with the inner product, but I don't fully understand that either (we learned all of this …

Jun 18, 2024 · Personally, I use the terminology "anti-unitary operator", and without further context, I would guess that "conjugate unitary operator" means the same thing (just as "anti-linear" and …
