A tale of three diagonalizations
2020
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 these pedagogical notes, we carry out each of these diagonalization procedures for the most general $2\times 2$ matrices for which the corresponding diagonalization is possible and provide explicit analytical results in each of the three cases.
