In physics, an operator is almost always either a square matrix or a linear mapping between two function spaces (defined on, say, $\mathbb R^n$). Operators serve as observables and as time evolution operators in Quantum Mechanics. This tag will most often find valid use in quantum mechanics; don't use this tag just because your equations contain "everyday operations" like $\times$, $+$!

Complex conjugate and transpose "with respect to a basis"
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 a transpose or comple …
