Hermitian adjoint
text:
In mathematics, specifically in operator theory, each linear operator A on an inner product space defines a Hermitian adjoint operator A ∗ on that space according to the rule where ⟨ ⋅ , ⋅ ⟩ is the inner product on the vector space. The adjoint may also be called the Hermitian conjugate or simply the Hermitian after Charles Hermite. It is often denoted by A† in fields like physics, especially when used in conjunction with bra–ket notation in quantum mechanics. In finite dimensions where operator
