Ch 9: What are Hermitian operators? | Maths of Quantum Mechanics

Hello!

This is the ninth chapter in my series “Maths of Quantum Mechanics.” In this episode, we’ll take a look into what Hermitian operators are, and some of their properties. Then, we’ll show how we can use our physical intuition to actually derive that physical observables must be Hermitian operators.
