How do we know that a given operator is Hermitian. I know that for an operator A to be Hermitian then A=A+. But I don't know how to apply this on something which is not in a matrix form. For example I want to know if L_x (x component of angular momentum) is Hermitian and I have no idea how to start. Do I just find the complex conjugate of it because how would I find the T of it? I know that L_x = YP_z - ZP_y = -i*hbar(Yd/dz - Zd/dy)
thanks
