How do you know if an operator is Hermitian?
To prove that a quantum mechanical operator Â is Hermitian, consider the eigenvalue equation and its complex conjugate.
Since both integrals equal a, they must be equivalent.
This equality means that Â is Hermitian.
Eigenfunctions of a Hermitian operator are orthogonal if they have different eigenvalues.
Is D 2 DX 2 a Hermitian operator?
In quantum mechanics, Hermitian operators play a very important role because they possess real eigenvalues.
Considering −d2dx2, it is a Hermitian operator (Actually it's the simplest Hamiltonian) and its eigenfunction can be expressed by eikx.
When A and B are Hermitian operators?
Put another way, if A and B are hermitian operators and their product is also hermitian, then they must commute: AB=BA.
As generally hermitian operators do not commute, that means generally, the product of hermitian operators is not hermitian.
(a) Hermitian operators are those operators that have only real eigenvalues.
This is particularly important since physical quantities such as position, momentum, energy etc. are all real values.
Hence the operators associated with these physical observables must yield real eigenvalues.

Examples of Hermitian Operators in Physics: Common examples include the position and momentum operators. The expectation values for position and momentum can be calculated using the position operator and momentum operator respectively.
