	Complex number
		The study of functions of a complex variable is known as complex analysis and has enormous practical use in applied mathematics as well as in other branches of mathematics.
		The conjugate of the complex number z corresponds to the transformation which rotates through the same angle as z but in the opposite direction, and scales in the same manner as z; this can be described by the transpose of the matrix corresponding to z.
		Complex numbers are used in signal analysis[?] and other fields as a convenient description for periodically varying signals.

	Complex conjugate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics, the complex conjugate of a complex number is given by changing the sign of the imaginary part.

		One may also define a conjugation for quaternions: the conjugate of a + bi + cj + dk is a − bi − cj − dk.

	More on Complex Numbers
		Every complex number can be represented in the form a + ib, where a and b are real numbers called the real part and the imaginary part of the complex number, respectively.
		In mathematics, the term "complex" when used as an adjective means that the field of complex numbers is the underlying number field considered, for example complex matrix, complex polynomial and complex Lie algebra.
		The complex conjugate of the complex number z = a + ib is defined to be a - ib, written as \bar{z} or z*.

	Mathematical Preliminaries
		Vectors are usually thought of as living in a vector space--the set of all possible values that such a vector could take on.
		The columns of the first matrix are vectors to be transformed (expressed in the old coordinate system) and the rows of the second matrix are the new coordinate basis vectors (also expressed in the old coordinate system).
		Complex numbers can be thought of as vectors in the complex plane with basis vectors (1,0) and (0,i).

	Quantum Mechanics (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
		Vector addition maps any pair of vectors onto another vector, specifically, the one you get by moving the second vector so that it's tail coincides with the tip of the first, without altering the length or direction of either, and then joining the tail of the first to the tip of the second.
		A vector space is a set of vectors closed under addition, and multiplication by constants, an inner product space is a vector space on which the operation of vector multiplication has been defined, and the dimension of such a space is the maximum number of nonzero, mutually orthogonal vectors it contains.
		A Hilbert space, finally, is a vector space on which an inner product is defined, and which is complete, i.e., which is such that any Cauchy sequence of vectors in the space converges to a vector in the space.

	Quantum Mechanics of the Crap Shoot
		The state vector in QM is a list of "amplitudes:" the square roots of the probabilities of all the possible outcomes of a measurement.
		Each component of one is the complex conjugate of the corresponding component of the other, but for the crap game we can use all real numbers, so they are the same.
		This set of vectors defines an eleven dimensional "space." The eigenvalues are the eleven numbers, and like the vector in 3 space, which can be written as a linear combination of 3 unit vectors, any vector in our eleven space can be written as a linear combination of the eigenvectors.

	Linear Algebra
		Mathematicians have generalized the definition of a vector space: a general vector space has the properties we’ve listed above for three-dimensional real vectors, but the operations of addition and multiplication by a number are generalized to more abstract operations between more general entities.
		To go from the familiar three-dimensional vector space to the vector spaces relevant to quantum mechanics, first the real numbers (components of the vector and possible multiplying factors) are to be generalized to complex numbers, and second the three-component vector goes an
		This notion naturally extends to vectors and numbers: the adjoint of a ket is the corresponding bra, the adjoint of a number is its complex conjugate.

		The propagation vector, k, is perpendicular in the spacetime sense to the peaks and troughs of the waves, the wavefronts for which the phase remains constant.
		Everyone's familiar with at least one example of a vector space: in three-dimensional Newtonian physics, all the possible velocities a particle might have — all the different directions and speeds with which it might be moving — comprise a three-dimensional vector space.
		Vector spaces with more than three dimensions are harder to visualise, but there's really no need to be able to do that.

		Vectors and matrices are parsed in the same format that they are output: vectors are delimited by square brackets, elements separated by white space, and matrices consist of a series of row vectors, again delimited by square brackets.

	Vector Mathematics
		The vector in question represents the state vector of a quantum mechanical system; a complex vector in a Hilbert Space.
		Since this vector lies in a Hilbert Space the projections of the state vector onto the coordinate axes are allowed to be complex numbers, thus the definition of length is slightly different from what is expected.

		Using a notation introduced by Dirac, it is common to represent quantum states as abstract vectors such as V> (vertical photon polarization) or H> (horizontal photon polarization) in Hilbert space.
		One of the important properties of vectors is their length, or more generally the length of the component of one vector along another, which is known as the scalar product of the two vectors.
		The length of a quantum state vector is related to the probability of an experimental outcome or measurement, which mathematically is represented by the idea of projection: the component of a vector along another vector.

	Hilbert Space (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		When there is no end to the process of selecting a basis for a vector space we have an infinite dimensional space.
		For instance the vector space of real functions would seem to be of dimension c since there are that many possible arguments to such a function.
		When the domain is the reals this leads to a c dimensional vector space which seems to lack any sort of quadratic form; you can't sum c reals, even with a limiting notion.

		The difference is that $\overline V$ is made into a complex vector space in a different way: addition is the same, but multiplying an element $\overline{v} \in \overline{V}$ by a complex number $c$ gives $\overline{\overline{c} v}$.
		More precisely, he defines a ``vector product algebra'' to be a vector space with a dot product and cross product satisfying properties that generalize those of $R^3$ with its usual dot product and cross product, and gives a purely diagrammatic argument that the dimension of such a thing is 0,1,3, or 7.
		I should emphasize that the author's mention of the `complex conjugate' vector space $\overline A$ is meaningless here, since $A$ is not a complex vector space.

		Hilbert space [external] underlies the foundation of quantum mechanics, and there is a strong physical and philosophical motivation to understand its properties.
		A practical problem with this approach is that the direct definition of a Hilbert space is large and awkward to work with, unless we already have available an underlying theory of vector spaces, etc. (which at this point I do not have).
		The next 11 axioms are the axioms for any vector space with an unspecified dimension; they are the same as those you would find in any linear algebra book, except for the notation and possibly their precise form.
