Non-associative Algebra
Hermitian operators are linear operators in quantum mechanics that are equal to their own adjoint. This property is crucial because it ensures that the eigenvalues of these operators, which correspond to measurable quantities in a quantum system, are real numbers. Hermitian operators also have a complete set of orthonormal eigenvectors, which plays an essential role in the representation of quantum states and observables.
