If A and B are two complex matrices and if U is a complex unitary matrix such that UAUCT = B (where UCT denotes the conjugate transpose of U), then A and B are said to be unitarily similar. Necessary and sufficient conditions that two matrices be unitarily similar have been dealt with in [5] (from the point of view of group representation theory) and in [2] (from the point of view of developing a canonical form under unitary similarity).
