    3matrix Mechanics

    Uploaded by

    Shigh Mat
    This document discusses basic concepts in quantum mechanics including spin states, operators, and matrix representations. It explains that a spin state lives in a complex vector space. Various operators like rotation can act on spin states and bra vectors to transform them. Operators have identity and projection forms. Matrix representations allow operators to be expressed using matrices where the elements correspond to transitions between basis states. Hermitian operators have real eigenvalues and orthogonal eigenstates.
