The mathematical pun here is exquisite. In quantum mechanics, a Hermitian operator equals its own conjugate transpose—essentially identical to itself when flipped. Similarly, this hermit crab equals... itself. The dagger symbol (†) represents the conjugate transpose operation, and the equal sign confirms our suspicion: this crustacean is indeed Hermitian. Eigenvalue problems just got significantly more adorable.
