Is momentum hamiltonian operator is hermitian operator?

In: Educational Methods and Theories [Edit categories]

Answer:

Answer

The hamiltonian operator is the observable corresponding to the total energy of the system. As with all observables it is given by a hermitian or self adjoint operator. This is true whether the hamiltonian is limited to momentum or contains potential.
