SUMMARY
The standard basis vectors of Cn are indeed the same as those of Rn, with the primary distinction being that the scalars in Cn are complex numbers. The standard basis vectors for Cn are represented as <1, 0, 0, ..., 0>, <0, 1, 0, ..., 0>, and so forth. When considering Cn as a vector space over the real numbers, the dimension doubles to 2n, and the standard basis includes vectors such as <1, 0, 0, ..., 0> and . This principle applies universally to any vector space Fn, where F denotes any field.
