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 …
linear algebra - Matrices which are both unitary and Hermitian ...
So unitary Hermitian matrices are precisely the matrices admitting a complete set of orthonormal eigenvectors such that the corresponding eigenvalues are $\pm 1$.
General form for 2 x 2 unitary matrices - Physics Forums
Mar 23, 2015 · SUMMARY The discussion focuses on the representation of a general 2x2 unitary matrix in the form of U = (e i α 1 cos θ e i α 2 sin θ e i α 3 sin θ e i α 4 cos θ). Key conditions …
Given a unitary matrix $U$, how do I find $A$ such that $U=e
Jan 1, 2015 · I believe the way you propose is quite standard. For a more general understanding of exponentiation, maybe look for an introductory course on Lie groups and Lie algebras, but …

Norm preservation properties of a unitary matrix
Definition (Unitary matrix). A unitary matrix is a square matrix $\mathbf {U} \in \mathbb {K}^ {n \times n}$ such that \begin {equation} \mathbf {U}^* \mathbf {U} = \mathbf {I} = \mathbf {U} …
Show that the eigenvalues of a unitary matrix have modulus $1$
Very good proof! However, an interesting thing is that you can perhaps stop at the third last step, because an equivalent condition of a unitary matrix is that its eigenvector lies on the unit circle, …
How to do a unitary diagonalization of a normal matrix?
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 …
