Definition df-kb 29050

Description: Define a commuted bra and ket juxtaposition used by Dirac notation. In Dirac notation, ∣ 𝐴⟩ ⟨𝐵 ∣ is an operator known as the outer product of 𝐴 and 𝐵, which we represent by (𝐴 ketbra 𝐵). Based on Equation 8.1 of [Prugovecki] p. 376. This definition, combined with definition df-bra 29049, allows any legal juxtaposition of bras and kets to make sense formally and also to obey the associative law when mapped back to Dirac notation.
