Unitary matrices leave the expectation value unchanged.
We need the mixing matrix to be unitary (to preserve the mixed quarks as a basis, to preserve length);
if VCKM were not unitary, it would perhaps suggest that a fourth generation of
quarks needed to be considered or included.

Why only complex numbers are used in unitary matrix?
It looks like that's part of the definition of a unitary matrix. See related link, below.
What is the definition of unitary matrix?
It is the conjugate transpose of the matrix. Of course the conjugate parts only matters with complex entries. So here is a definition:A unitary matrix is a square matrix U whose entries are complex numbers and whose inverse is equal to its conjugate transpose U*. This means thatU*U = UU* = I. Where I is the identity matrix.
What is the identity matrix?
The identity matrix is a square one with ones (1s) down its main diagonal and zeroes (0s) elsewhere. That is, it must have the same number of rows as columns, and where the row number is the same as the column number, the entry must be 1, elsewhere, it must be 0.
22 matrix with 33 matrix multiplication?
It is not possible. The number of columns in the first matrix must be the same as the number of rows in the second. That is, matrices, X (kxl) and Y (mxn) can only be multiplied [in that order] if l = m.
What statement is true about unitary system of government is true?
Unitary governments are the most common.

CKM - adult magazine - was created in 1998.

What is a Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix?
A Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix is a unitary matrix which specifies the mismatch of quantum states of quarks when they propagate freely and when they take part in the weak interactions.
Is every unitary matrix hermitian?
Absolutely not. They are rather quite different: hermitian matrices usually change the norm of vector while unitary ones do not (you can convince yourself by taking the spectral decomposition: eigenvalues of unitary operators are phase factors while an hermitian matrix has real numbers as eigenvalues so they modify the norm of vectors). So unitary matrices are good "maps" whiule hermitian ones are not. If you think about it a little bit you will be able to demonstrate the following: for every Hilbert space except C^2 a unitary matrix cannot be hermitian and vice versa. For the particular case H=C^2 this is not true (e.g. Pauli matrices are hermitian and unitary).
What is the possible determinant of unitary matrix?
|Det(U)| = 1 so that Det(U) = ±1
In which of these government must local government follow the direction of the central government?
Federalism is the form of government in which local governments must follow the direction of the central government.
The local governments must follow the direction of the?
unitary
The local governments must follow the direction of the central government?
unitary
How does a unitary rate differ from any other ratio?
A unitary rate must specifically have a denominator of one. Unitary rates are used in mathematical operations and conversions. Any other ratio can have any number as the denominator.
What is the airport code for Fletcher Field?
The airport code for Fletcher Field is CKM.
In which of government must the local government follow the direction of the central government?
Unitary
