Bra–ket notation

Notation for quantum states

Bra–ket notation or Dirac notation is a mathematical notation for linear algebra and linear operators on complex vector spaces together with their dual spaces both in the finite- and infinite-dimensional cases. It is specifically designed to ease the types of calculations that frequently arise in quantum mechanics. It is now of ubiquitous usage in that subject.
