Eigenanalysis Of Complex Hermitian Matrix: Different Phase Angles For Eig And Eigh

I understand that eigenvectors are only defined up to a multiplicative constant. As far as I see all numpy algorithms (e.g. linalg.eig, linalg.eigh, linalg.svd) yield identical eig

Solution 1:

In my experience (and there are many questions here to back this up), you NEVER want to use eig when eigh is an option - eig is very slow and very unstable. The relevance of this is that I believe your question is backward - you want to normalize the eigenvectors of eig to be like those of eigh, and this you know how to do.
