Nov 15, 2013 · The complex conjugate and dagger do not do the same thing. The complex conjugate keeps the real part of a number the same, and negates the imaginary part. If the number has only a real part, with no imaginary part, then …

Sep 30, 2008 · Hi Jason, I know you are an experienced math student, from this perspective you should think of [itex]A^{\dagger}[/itex] as the adjoint of [itex]A[/itex] i.e. the Reisz representation theorem establishes a dual correspondence between each operator in a Hilbert space and an operator in the dual of that space, the adjoint of the original operator.

Mar 6, 2025 · In Sakurai, section 4.4, says that if ##\\psi(x,t)## is a solution of Schrodinger equation then ##\\psi^*(x,-t)## is always another solution. However, in the corrected version of "Many-body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics, Bruus and Flensberg, 2016", section 7.1.4, restricts this...

Feb 21, 2018 · In the usual way of doing the Dirac equation, [itex]\psi[/itex] is a column matrix, and [itex]\psi^\dagger[/itex] is a row matrix, and [itex]\gamma^0[/itex] is a square matrix.
