Unitary matrix
text:
In advanced linear algebra, an invertible complex square matrix U is unitary if its matrix inverse U−1 equals its conjugate transpose U*, that is, if U ∗ U = U U ∗ = I, where I is the identity matrix. In physics, especially in quantum mechanics, the conjugate transpose is referred to as the Hermitian adjoint of a matrix and is denoted by a dagger (†), so the equation above is written U † U = U U † = I. A complex matrix U is special unitary if it is unitary and its matrix determinant equals 1. Fo
