==Equivalent conditions== If ''U'' is a square, complex matrix, then the following conditions are equivalent:<ref>{{Cite book | last1=Horn | first1=Roger A. | last2=Johnson | first2=Charles R. | title=Matrix Analysis | publisher=[[Cambridge University Press]] | isbn=9781139020411 | year=2013 |doi=10.1017/CBO9781139020411 }}</ref> # <math>U</math> is unitary. # <math>U^*</math> is unitary. # <math>U</math> is invertible with <math>U^{-1} = U^*</math>. # The columns of <math>U</math> form an [[orthonormal basis]] of <math>\Complex^n</math> with respect to the usual inner product.
