I'm sick and tired of heavy chunks of steel falling on my face. Ježek, Maximum-likelihood methods in quantum mechanics, In M. Linear algebra = vector spaces and their operators. Linear Algebra and Operator Theory are powerful tools in the study of Quantum Mechanics. If the quantum state of a system is a complete description . The last course was very abstract and by no means was easy stuff (at least not for me), but it was a pre-requisite for physics courses on quantum-mechanics and subsequent courses on the workings of semiconductor devices. From these two basic ideas alone — indefiniteness and the superposition principle — it should be clear already that quantum mechanics conflicts sharply with common sense. The vector space concept that does that is a Hermitian linear operator on the space where the real values are the eigenvalues and the subspaces are the eigenspaces of the operator. Řeháček, Eds., Quantum State Estimation, Lecture Notes in Physics, Springer 2004. Will this happen to me as a quantum mechanic? Posted in Linear Algebra and Group Theory: So Ill be taking Linear Algebra come January, and I always like to be prepared or at least a little familiar with material Im about to encounter. The Choi-Jamiołkowski isomorphism is an isomorphism between linear maps from Hilbert space ({cal H}) to Hilbert space ({cal K}) and operators living in the tensor product space ({cal H}otimes{cal K}). So far, this is all pretty trivial linear algebra, but when we think about what this means physically it is pretty weird. Each observable state is represented by a maximally Hermitian (self-adjoint) linear operator.
