Homework Statement
[itex]\int d^{3} \vec{r} ψ_{1} \hat{A} ψ_{2}[/itex] = [itex]\int d^{3} \vec{r} ψ_{2} \hat{A}* ψ_{1}[/itex]
Hermitian operator A, show that this condition is equivalent to requiring [itex] <v|\hat{A}u>[/itex] = [itex]< \hat{A}v|u>[/itex]
Homework Equations
I changed the definitions of ψ into their bra-ket forms first of all.
Hints say something about the Identity operator, but I don't have any bra's in my equation, what do I do?
The Attempt at a Solution
After changing the ψ into their bra-ket forms and substituting, I am stumped. Any pointers please?
I have introduction into adjoint hermitian operators but I cannot see how this would fit into it.
I would write more about what I did, but your equation editor is very difficult to use, is it possible that you could make a code that mirror's the equation editor on Microsoft Word 2007 - 2011?
Please help me, I'm doing this problem WAY ahead of time and I just want to be good at this stuff. Please don't ignore me, just give me a push in the right direction and I promise I will do all the rest and show you what I did.
