    Is Hamiltonian operator a Hermitian operator?

    Hi, jostpuur and alxm. Thank you for your answers. Yes, I've realized that the wavefunction was unacceptable in physics if Re(E) < 0 or Im(E) is not 0. But in my opinion, all concepts of eigenvalue, eigenfunction and Hermitian operator are defined in mathematics. So one can always solve the...

    Is Hamiltonian operator a Hermitian operator?

    Hi, there. It should be yes, but I'm very confused now. Consider a simple one-dimensional system with only one particle with mass of m. Let the potential field be 0, that's V(r) = 0. So the Hamiltonian operator of this system is: H = -hbar^2/(2m) * d^2/dx^2 \hat{H} =...
