Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around how to properly write Bra and Ket vectors in a specific format, likely related to LaTeX or a similar typesetting system. Participants share their experiences and suggestions regarding the syntax and codes used for these vectors.

Discussion Character

  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses difficulty in finding the correct codes for Bra and Ket vectors despite reviewing the help documentation.
  • Another participant questions the use of symbols "<", ">", and "|" for representing Bra and Ket vectors.
  • A participant shares specific LaTeX commands for Bra and Ket vectors, indicating confusion about their identification.
  • Another participant provides examples of Bra and Ket vectors using LaTeX syntax, noting the need for square brackets around "latex" and "/latex" for proper display.
  • A suggestion is made to use a derivative notation involving Bra and Ket vectors.
  • Additional examples of Bra and Ket vectors are shared, including a more complex expression.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not appear to reach a consensus on the best method for writing Bra and Ket vectors, with multiple suggestions and some confusion expressed about the syntax.

Contextual Notes

Gents how do I write Bra and Ket vectors here, I ve gone through the help documentation, but I could not find, I saw one equation as an example but I failed to identify Bra and Ket associated codes

Er.. what's wrong with using "<", ">", and "|"?

Zz.
 
"[tex] \newcommand{\mean}[1]{{<\!\!{#1}\!\!>}}<br /> \newcommand{\braket}[2]{{<\!\!{#1|#2}\!\!>}}<br /> \newcommand{\braketop}[3]{{<\!\!{#1|\hat{#2}|#3}\!\!>}}<br /> \braket{\phi}{\psi} \equiv \int \phi^*(x) \psi(x)\,dx[/tex]"

Ive seen such equation for Bra/Ket vectors and that confused me, sine i failed to identify this code
 
[itex]\left | \psi \right \rangle[/itex]

latex \left | \psi \right \rangle /latex

[itex]\left \langle \psi \right |[/itex]

latex \left \langle \psi \right | /latex

[itex]\left \langle \psi \right. \left | \psi \right \rangle[/itex]

latex \left \langle \psi \right. \left | \psi \right \rangle /latex

Note: The "latex" and "/latex" should be enclosed in square brackets to make the equation appear.
 
Try this.

[tex]\frac{d}{dt} \left| \psi \right> = \left| \frac{d \psi}{dt} \right>[/tex]

Regards,
George
