minus-squareblind3rdeye@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoSurely in theoretical physics, the most common use of > is in a ket (eg. |ψ>).
minus-squareKichae@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoNo? Not everyone’s doing work on quantum systems. Far from it. Most people do not need to use Dirac notation.
minus-squarestebo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoarguably, it’s |ψ〉, which is not the same as >
minus-squareTriflingToad@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agowow that’s a big difference (I have no idea what you are talking about)
minus-squareblind3rdeye@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoI think 〉 means a very hungry (or at least large mouthed) crocodile, and > is just a normal one.
minus-squarestebo@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·8 months agoIt is just a notation for linear algebra and linear operators on complex vector spaces together with their dual space both in the finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional case. Really quite simple stuff actually…
