space to itself is sometimes referred to as the Hilbert group of , denoted or .

Examples

* The identity function is trivially a unitary operator.
* Rotations in are the simplest nontrivial example of unitary operators. Rotations do not change the length of a vector or the angle between two vectors. This example can be expanded to . In even higher dimensions, this can be extended to the Givens rotation.
