The Hermitian adjoint (or conjugate transpose) of a matrix is a fundamental concept in linear algebra, particularly in the context of complex vector spaces. For a given matrix \\( A \\), its Hermitian adjoint (denoted as \\( A^\\dagger \\) or \\( A^* \\)) is obtained by taking the transpose of the matrix and then taking the complex conjugate of each entry.
