Complex numbers

Eigenslate follows the standard notation for imaginary and complex number where "i" equals StartRoot, negative 1 , EndRooti=−1. You can write complex numbers as a sum of real and imaginary components like 2 plus 3 "i"2+3i.

By default, operations that can output a complex or imaginary number will give a complex or imaginary number. For example, the square root of a negative number will by default give the expected imaginary number instead of returning undefined.

You can use "z" Superscript, "H" , BaselinezH to get complex conjugate of "z"z. This is the same notation used to take the hermitian transpose of a matrix.

You can take the absolute value of a complex number which returns the distance from 0 on the complex plane.

Type \Re (with a capital R) to take the real component of complex number, and type \Im (with a capital I) to get the imaginary component.
