The inner product is supposed to give the probability amplitude for state u turning into state v. Taking a little mini-universe of two dimensions in the complex plane if I rotate vector u by multiplying it by scalar a to get vector v, then I end up that a = u*v/(||u||.||v||); given that the lengths are irrelevant for quantum physics, the numerator is taken as the inner product at a point (with the dot product being its real part). But the inner product is defined as the integral of fg*, not f*g. Why?
Or did I calculate that wrong?
