 5. Diagonalizaton via. unitary transform. Consider a 2 x 2 matrix

5. Diagonalizaton via. unitary transform. Consider a 2 x 2 matrix cos sinvi Q- ( sin9 0086 > (a) Show Q is unitary. (b) Show its two eigenvalues are e\" and 8'\"; find the corresponding eigen vectors. [Feel free to work with matrices, and choose your own phase factor for the eigen vectors.) (c) From the eigenvectors, construct the unitary matrix U so that it diagonalizes , UTQU: ( em 0. ) 0 871.3 [The columns of U are nothing but the eigenvectors of 9. This is explained in Sakurai 1.5.3. Use this example to verify it is true.)
