Conjugate vs Complex Conjugate - Physics Forums
Apr 4, 2024 · The complex conjugate has a very special role in that it negates the angle of a complex number from the positive real line. So the argument of ##\bar {z}## is the negative of the argument of …
Difference between the A conjugate and A dagger - Physics Forums
Nov 13, 2013 · The complex conjugate negates the imaginary part of complex numbers, while the dagger involves both conjugation and transposition. It is important to note that real matrices are …
Complex conjugations - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Jun 17, 2020 · In line 2, by simple rules of complex multiplication, it should be (h+k). I understand it being (h-k) has to do with complex exponential conjugation but not really sure why/how.
Why is there only a complex conjugate, but no real conjugate?
Note that the product of a complex number and its complex conjugate is the exact opposite of the product of a complex number and its real conjugate. In that way it's kind of superfluous to have a real …

Conjugates of complex numbers - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Oct 23, 2015 · The complex conjugate distributes through addition and multiplication, so $\overline { (z+w)} = \bar z+\bar w$ and $\overline { (zw)} = \bar z\bar w$. Division is just multiplication by the …
The conjugate of a complex number vs an expression?
Apr 9, 2023 · Likewise, the process of rationalizing a denominator (or numerator) often involves "multiplying by the conjugate" (to exploit the difference-of-squares factorization in reverse). The …
Complex conjugate and transpose "with respect to a basis"
Sep 7, 2019 · In my quantum mechanics notes, my teacher described the complex conjugate and transpose of a linear operator X as "with respect to an orthogonal basis." What does it mean to take …
Is there a difference between the adjoint and conjugate?
May 15, 2016 · The adjoint of an operator is obtained by taking the complex conjugate of the operator followed by transposing it. i.e., $ (A)^\dagger_ {ij}=\left ( (A)^T_ {ij}\right)^*=\left ( (A_ …
Derivative of complex conjugate - Mathematics Stack Exchange
Oct 22, 2014 · Let f (x,y) be a complex valued function, taking in two real-valued inputs x and y. Then under what circumstances is the partial derivative of the complex conjugate of f with respect to x …
