prove that the eigen values of unitary matrix are unit modulus
Proof:
Let U be a unitary matrix and let E be the eigen value with corresponding eigen vector v.
By definition of unitary operator,
v,v= Uv, Uv
But
Uv=Ev
so
v,v= Ev, Ev
=Ev,v
= 2v,v
Since
v,v0
we can have 2=1
That is =1
Hence, the eigen values of unitary matrix are unit modulus.
