The discussion revolves around the use of box notation in LaTeX for representing quantum states, specifically how to format these states so that they appear underneath their respective boxes. The conversation includes technical aspects of LaTeX coding and formatting techniques.
Participants generally agree on the approach of using an array for formatting, but there is no explicit consensus on the best method, as the initial question remains open to further exploration.
Some participants express uncertainty about the use of boxes for notation and the specifics of LaTeX formatting, indicating a potential need for further clarification on these topics.
This discussion may be useful for individuals interested in LaTeX formatting, particularly in the context of quantum mechanics and related notation.

But I want the quantum states to appear underneath their respective boxes?
Right click my equation, and it gives you an option to show the equation in Tex Commands.shyguy79 said:Thanks ... Looks good what is the code for that?
