This tag is for questions relating to Hilbert Space, a vector space equipped with an inner product, an operation that allows defining lengths and angles, and the space is complete. It arises naturally and frequently in mathematics and physics, typically as infinite-dimensional function spaces having the property that it is complete. Applies also to pre-Hilbert spaces, rigged Hilbert spaces, and spaces with negative norm or zero-norm states.

Continuum States in QM

In the Hilbert space of QM, in the finite dimensional case, for a complete orthonormal set of basis vectors, one writes the generic state vector as: $\psi=\sum_j(\phi_j,\psi)\phi_j$. When the complete …

Adjoint of a non-linear operator

I am a retired aerospace engineer, embarking on a self-study of QM. In reading S. Weinberg's book Lectures on QM (second ed.) I found the following definition (pag.65): "The adjoint $A^\dagger$ of an …
