BRA-KET NOTATION

  Any Quantum State <math>\psi Angle</math> Can Be Expressed In Terms Of A Sum Of '' "http://wwwinformationdelightinfo/encyclopedia/entry/Orthonormal_basis" class="copylinks">Basis States '' (also called ''basis kets'') <math>k_i angle</math> in the form
  :<math> \psi Angle \sum_i c_i k_i angle</math>
  Where <math>c I</math> Are The Coefficients Representing The "http://wwwinformationdelightinfo/encyclopedia/entry/probability_amplitude" class="copylinks">Probability Amplitude , such that the absolute square of the probability amplitude, <math>\left c_i ight ^2</math> is the Probability of a Measurement in terms of the basis states yielding the state <math>k_i angle</math> The normalization condition mandates that the total sum of probabilities is equal to one,
  :<math>\sum I \left C I Ight ^2 1</math>
