Undergrad Orthonormal Basis of Wavefunctions in Hilbert Space
I think I see now what I failed to see, the discrete approach does not simplify, it is the source of the problem. I still didn't get this 100%, why is there a closure relation? What is the need to express a basis that is orthonormal for every continuous value?- Jd_duarte

Undergrad Orthonormal Basis of Wavefunctions in Hilbert Space
Hello, I've a fundamental question that seems to keep myself confused about the mathematics of quantum mechanics. For simplicity sake I'll approach this in the discrete fashion. Consider the countable set of functions of Hilbert space, labeled by i\in \mathbb{N} . This set \left...- Jd_duarte

Undergrad Hermitian Operator Proof - Question
Hi, I am questioning about this specific proof -https://quantummechanics.ucsd.edu/ph130a/130_notes/node134.html. Why to do this proof is needed to compute the complex conjugate of the expectation value of a physical variable? Why can't we just start with < H\psi \mid \psi > ?- Jd_duarte
