Definition df-kb 31880
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 31879, 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. (Contributed by NM, 15-May-2006.) (New usage is discouraged.)
