Hi,
Let A and B be hermitian operators. Show that C=i[A,B] is hermitian aswell.
-
Well, I tried just to use the definition but I'm not sure if that's enough (my guess would be no lol).
[tex] C=i[A,B]=iAB-iBA=iA^\dagger B^\dagger-iB^\dagger A^\dagger =i[A^\dagger , B^\dagger ][/tex]
I'm not used to proof stuff as we don't learn it in my degree program.
Is that right, or is that a whole wrong approach?
Thanks for your help
