Self-adjoint / Hermitian eigensolver

Open llohse opened this issue 7 months ago • 0 comments

Thank you for your work!

I would like to compute an eigendecomposition of (low dimensional) Hermitian matrices of complex numbers (equal to its conjugate transpose).

The user guide gave me the impression that this was implemented in nalgebra. Yet, in the API documentation I could only find SymmetricEigen, which seems to require symmetric matrices (equal to its transpose).

Am I misreading something? Do you plan to implement an algorithm for Hermitian matrices, too? It would be extremely nice to have, as most matrices in quantum mechanics are Hermitian.
