    How Do You Normalize a Quantum State in Quantum Mechanics?

    OK good, thought it must be right but seemed a lot of maths, glad I'm not going mad! :wink: I'm a bit confused over which ones will remain (but I do see it will be only a few, most cancel out). So for example if I had: |\psi> = 3|000> + 7i|001> +... <\psi| = 3|000> - 7i|001> +...

    How Do You Normalize a Quantum State in Quantum Mechanics?

    Homework Statement Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution OK I have \left| \psi \right> = \alpha \left| 000 \right> + \beta \left| 001 \right> + ... + \theta \left| 111 \right> which I need to normalise. I know that \left| \psi \right>^{*} = \left< \psi \right| and so have...

    How do I find the resulting 4x4 matrix for the square of \eta?

    Homework Statement From a given \left| \psi \right> I have calculated an expression for \eta which results in a 4x4 matrix (as required) however I now need to find \eta^{2} but don't know how to do this with still keeping a resulting 4x4 matrix. Homework Equations \eta = \alpha \left|...
