Hello everyone,
There's something I am not understanding in Hermitian operators.
Could anyone explain why the momentum operator:
px = -iħ∂/∂x
is a Hermitian operator? Knowing that Hermitian operators is equal to their adjoints (A = A†), how come the complex conjugate of px (iħ∂/∂x) = px (-iħ∂/∂x) ?
Thank you so much for your support...
