Is an axiom of Quantum Mechanics. The implications are extremely subtle and mathematical, so I recommend reading the quantum books by Shankar or Griffiths. Both should be available at any technical or university library.

What is a Hermitian operator?

A Hermitian operator is any linear operator for which the following equality property holds: integral from minus infinity to infinity of (f(x)* A^g(x))dx=integral from minus infinity to infinity of (g(x)A*^f(x)*)dx, where A^ is the hermitian operator, * denotes the complex conjugate, and f(x) and g(x) are functions. The eigenvalues of hermitian operators are real and their eigenfunctions are orthonormal.


What is the dimension of 27 83?

The answer will depend on (a) whet the dimensions of the two quantities are, and (b) what the missing operator between the two quantities is.


Why time isn't an operator in quantum mechanics?

Associated with each measurable parameter in a physical system is a quantum mechanical operator. Now although not explicitly a time operator the Hamiltonian operator generates the time evolution of the wavefunction in the form H*(Psi)=i*hbar(d/dt)*(Psi), where Psi is a function of both space and time. Also I don't believe that in the formulation of quantum mechanics (QM) time appears as a parameter, not as a dynamical variable. Also, if time were an operator what would be the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of such an operator? Note:A dynamical time operator has been proposed in relativistic quantum mechanics. A paper I found on the topic is; Zhi-Yong Wang and Cai-Dong Xiong , "Relativistic free-motion time-of-arrival", J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 40 1987 - 1905(2007)

What are different types of operators?

The different types of operators are as follows: *Arithmatic operator *Relational operator *Logical operator *Assignment operator *Increment/Decrement operator *Conditional operator *Bitwise operator *Special operator


Where could one find a Jeep dealer locator?

Autonation is a company of car dealerships, they are the largest and have massive quantities of inventories of SUVs and Jeep vehicles. A Jeep dealer locator can be found, by calling a toll free directory number and then asking the operator for the nearest Jeep dealer locator, the operator will answer with a corresponding nearest Jeep dealer.

Is a water operator or an water operator which is correct?

A water operator is grammatically correct.


What is operator function?

An operator function implements a particular operator symbol. The database server provides special SQL-invoked functions, called operator functions, that implement operators. An operator function processes one to three arguments and returns a value. When an SQL statement contains an operator, the database server automatically invokes the associated operator function. The association between an operator and an operator function is called operator binding. You can overload an operator function to provide the operator for a UDT. The SQL user can then use the operator with the UDT as well as with the built-in data types. When an SQL statement contains an operator, the database server automatically invokes the associated operator function.


How can you differentiate overloading of pre-fix and post-fix increment operator?

The prefix increment operator is overloaded as operator++() while the postfix increment operator is overloaded as operator++(int).
