  1. What is the difference between isometric and unitary operators on a ...

    A unitary operator U U does indeed satisfy U∗U = I U ∗ U = I, and therefore in particular is an isometry. However, unitary operators must also be surjective (by definition), and are therefore isometric and …

  2. linear algebra - Singular value decomposition for unitary matrices ...

    Jan 13, 2021 · As such, for unitary A A, there is one singular subspace consisting of all vectors, and a singular value decomposition can be constructed by any unitary matrix U U whose columns will form …

  3. Norm preservation properties of a unitary matrix

    1 Let K ∈ {R,C} K ∈ {R, C} be either the field of real numbers R R or the field of complex numbers C C. Definition (Unitary matrix). A unitary matrix is a square matrix U ∈ Kn×n U ∈ K n × n such that U∗U =I …

  4. Unitary representations vs unitary matrices - Mathematics Stack …

    Dec 15, 2025 · In other words, the well-known connection between unitary transformations and unitary matrices works with respect to any inner product (and its orthonormal bases).

    Feb 13, 2018 · Spectrum of unitary operators lie in the unit circle [duplicate] Ask Question Asked 7 years, 11 months ago Modified 7 years, 11 months ago

  6. linear algebra - What's the interpretation of a unitary matrix ...

    Unitary matrices are the complex versions, and they are the matrix representations of linear maps on complex vector spaces that preserve "complex distances". If you have a complex vector space then …

  8. How to do a unitary diagonalization of a normal matrix?

    Nov 7, 2016 · The result does not give me the diagonal matrix with the desired eigenvalues though. Also, Google search did not yield a single nicely explained way to do a unitary transform of a normal …

  9. functional analysis - What is a conjugate unitary operator ...

    Jun 18, 2024 · So a conjugate unitary operator U U would be a surjective conjugate linear operator such that Uξ, Uη = η, ξ U ξ, U η = η, ξ . But it would be helpful to see a concrete example where this term …
