Abstract

In addition to the diagonalization of a normal matrix by a unitary similarity transformation, there are two other types of diagonalization procedures that sometimes arise in quantum theory applications — the singular value decomposition and the Autonne–Takagi factorization. In this pedagogical review, each of these diagonalization procedures is performed for the most general [Formula: see text] matrices for which the corresponding diagonalization is possible, and explicit analytical results are provided in each of the three cases.
