Dirac Notation #6

Open SolemnShark871 opened 2 years ago

SolemnShark871 commented 2 years ago

At last, some serious mathematics! Bringing together all the concepts of the first chapter #1 introducing quantum theory and the mathematical fundamentals #4 #5 this chapter will explain the DIrac notation and apply it to the computational basis states $|0> , |1>$.

I suggest you also explain common notational conventions which authors use on top of Dirac notation, such as the use of combinations of numbers as names (e.g. |0>, <1010|). I struggled a lot with understanding how I should interpret those, often thinking that I needed to take some sort of vector product before doing whatever product was implied by the specific use of Dirac notation that I'd encountered.
