hello

I own two books of quantum physics
In the first part the authors emphasize the bra-ket notation, explaining how important and useful it is
in the second part, they go to pratical examples
no mention of brackets , they just use the Schrodinger's equation....
may you suggest a book or an scientific article which makes an actual use of such notation ?

Have you tried Sakurai's original book? Starts with bra-kets and keeps going with them throughout.

Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications​

by Nouredine Zettili

is also a good book to start Braket notation with solved examples.

I could suggest you look at 'The Principles of Quantum Mechanics' by Paul Dirac if you can borrow a copy. He invented these vectors, and his explanation is still one of the best. He doesn't say explicitly that the product is a 'bracket' but otherwise he is clarity itself.
