Latex code for Hermitian Conjugate

In summary, the Latex code for Hermitian Conjugate is \dagger or ^{\dagger}. To use it in equations, place it after the variable or matrix you want to denote as the Hermitian Conjugate. It can be used in subscripts and superscripts, and its size can be changed using the \left and \right commands. Some Latex editors have a shortcut for the symbol.
