Homework Statement
On Wikipedia there is an article about perturbation theory. To understand something I need to understand the following relation. They say:
Homework Equations
H |n> = E_n |n>
So:
<n| H = <n| E_n
H is Hermitian.
So: Why is this?
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't know if this is valid.
(H \cdot |n>)^\dagger = (E_n \cdot |n>)^\dagger
\Leftrightarrow
<n| H^\dagger = <n| E_n^\dagger
And since H is Hermitian and E_n is real, I get:
<n| H = <n| E_n
Is this how things work?
