Hermitian Conjugate: Also known as
The Hermitian conjugate is also known as:
- the Hermitian transpose
- the conjugate transpose
- the associate matrix
- the adjoint matrix, in the context of quantum mechanics
- the Hermitian adjoint
The term adjoint matrix is also used for the adjugate matrix, so to avoid ambiguity it is recommended that it not be used.
