  2. Identity matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_matrix

    The th column of an identity matrix is the unit vector, a vector whose th entry is 1 and 0 elsewhere. The determinant of the identity matrix is 1, and its trace is . The identity matrix is the only idempotent matrix with non-zero determinant. That is, it is the only matrix such that:

  3. Matrix (mathematics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_(mathematics)

    The identity matrix I n of size n is the n-by-n matrix in which all the elements on the main diagonal are equal to 1 and all other elements are equal to 0, for example, = [], = [], = [] It is a square matrix of order n, and also a special kind of diagonal matrix. It is called an identity matrix because multiplication with it leaves a matrix ...

  4. Invertible matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invertible_matrix

    To compute a matrix inverse using this method, an augmented matrix is first created with the left side being the matrix to invert and the right side being the identity matrix. Then, Gaussian elimination is used to convert the left side into the identity matrix, which causes the right side to become the inverse of the input matrix.

  5. Whitening transformation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitening_transformation

    A whitening transformation or sphering transformation is a linear transformation that transforms a vector of random variables with a known covariance matrix into a set of new variables whose covariance is the identity matrix, meaning that they are uncorrelated and each have variance 1. [1]

  6. Orthogonal matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthogonal_matrix

    In linear algebra, an orthogonal matrix, or orthonormal matrix, is a real square matrix whose columns and rows are orthonormal vectors. One way to express this is Q T Q = Q Q T = I , {\displaystyle Q^{\mathrm {T} }Q=QQ^{\mathrm {T} }=I,} where Q T is the transpose of Q and I is the identity matrix .

  7. Matrix exponential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_exponential

    We denote the n×n identity matrix by I and the zero matrix by 0. The matrix exponential satisfies the following properties. [2] We begin with the properties that are immediate consequences of the definition as a power series: e 0 = I; exp(X T) = (exp X) T, where X T denotes the transpose of X. exp(X ∗) = (exp X) ∗, where X ∗ denotes the ...

  8. Quantum logic gate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_logic_gate

    This application can be done by combining the gate with an identity matrix such that their tensor product becomes a gate that act on N qubits. The identity matrix () is a representation of the gate that maps every state to itself (i.e., does nothing at all). In a circuit diagram the identity gate or matrix will often appear as just a bare wire.

  9. General linear group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_linear_group

    In mathematics, the general linear group of degree n is the set of n×n invertible matrices, together with the operation of ordinary matrix multiplication.This forms a group, because the product of two invertible matrices is again invertible, and the inverse of an invertible matrix is invertible, with the identity matrix as the identity element of the group.
