A very common approximation is to truncate Hilbert space to finite dimension, after which the Schrödinger equation can be formulated as an eigenvalue problem of a real symmetric, or complex Hermitian matrix. Consider for instance the matrix These eigenvectors comprise the columns of a matrix Q1.

Note that the above examples show that the sum of diagonalizable matrices need not be diagonalizable. One can raise a diagonal matrix A square matrix that is not diagonalizable is called Many results for diagonalizable matrices hold only over an The fundamental fact about diagonalizable maps and matrices is expressed by the following: H��W]o�Fͳ� 0000001081 00000 n
The converse is not necessarily true, as the following counterexample shows: which has eigenvalues 1, 2, 2 (not all distinct) and is diagonalizable with diagonal form (For most practical work matrices are diagonalized numerically using computer software. 0000013854 00000 n endstream endobj 44 0 obj <> endobj 45 0 obj <>/ProcSet[/PDF/Text/ImageB]/XObject<>>>/Rotate 0/Type/Page>> endobj 46 0 obj <> endobj 47 0 obj <> endobj 48 0 obj <> endobj 49 0 obj <> endobj 50 0 obj <>stream In linear algebra, a square matrix $${\displaystyle A}$$ is called diagonalizable or nondefective if it is similar to a diagonal matrix, i.e., if there exists an invertible matrix $${\displaystyle P}$$ and a diagonal matrix $${\displaystyle D}$$ such that $${\displaystyle P^{-1}AP=D}$$, or equivalently $${\displaystyle A=PDP^{-1}}$$. 0000001662 00000 n Diagonalization is the process of finding the above $${\displaystyle P}$$ and $${\displaystyle D}$$.
As a consequence, commuting matrices over an algebraically closed field are simultaneously triangularizable, that is, there are bases over which they are both upper triangular. Note that S⇤ and X⇤ commute, with both products X⇤S⇤ = S⇤X⇤ = 0.
In general, we can construct an orthonormal basis for IR n consisting of three sets of vectors: Eigenvectors of S⇤ with positive eigenvalue that are in the nullspace of X⇤.
Some matrices are not diagonalizable over any field, most notably nonzero This matrix is not diagonalizable: there is no matrix Some real matrices are not diagonalizable over the reals.
