Copilot AI commented Feb 26, 2026

The PR explored alternative translations for "adjoint" — specifically "转置共轭" — to avoid confusion with "adjugate". The reviewer preferred keeping the established 伴随/自伴 convention but adding an explicit note instead.

Changes

  • Reverted matrix adjoint translation from "转置共轭" back to "伴随" throughout Chaps/Chap1.tex
  • Reverted "是自身的转置共轭(self-adjoint)" back to "自伴(self-adjoint)"
  • Added footnote at first occurrence of "伴随"(adjoint) clarifying:

    本书中 adjoint 译为"伴随",与量子力学中的惯例一致,指矩阵的转置共轭(即各元素取复共轭后再转置)。注意这与线性代数中的"伴随矩阵"(adjugate,即由代数余子式构成的矩阵)含义不同。
