You might be already familiar with the concept of performing a number of various **operations** between vectors, so in this course, let us review some essential operations that are relevant to start working with quantum mechanics: !!! info "Addition" - I can add two vectors to produce a third vector, $$\vec{a} + \vec{b}= \vec{c}$$. - As with scalar addition, also vectors satisfy the commutative property, $$\vec{a} + \vec{b} = \vec{b} + \vec{a}$$. + I can add two vectors to produce a third vector, $$\vec{a} + \vec{b}= \vec{c}.$$ + As with scalar addition, also vectors satisfy the commutative property, $$\vec{a} + \vec{b} = \vec{b} + \vec{a}.$$ Vector addition can be carried out in terms of their components, - $$ \vec{c} = \vec{a} + \vec{b} = (a_1 + b_1, a_2 + b_2, \ldots, a_n + b_n) = (c_1, c_2, \ldots, c_n) \, .$$ + $$ \vec{c} = \vec{a} + \vec{b} = (a_1 + b_1, a_2 + b_2, \ldots, a_n + b_n) = (c_1, c_2, \ldots, c_n).$$ !!! info "Scalar multiplication" - I can multiply a vector by a scalar number (either real or complex) to produce another vector, $$\vec{c} = \lambda \vec{a}$$. + I can multiply a vector by a scalar number (either real or complex) to produce another vector, $$\vec{c} = \lambda \vec{a}.$$ Addition and scalar multiplication of vectors are both *associative* and *distributive*, so the following relations hold - 1. $(\lambda \mu) \vec{a} = \lambda (\mu \vec{a}) = \mu (\lambda \vec{a})$ - 2. $\lambda (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) = \lambda \vec{a} + \lambda \vec{b}$ - 3. $(\lambda + \mu)\vec{a} = \lambda \vec{a} +\mu \vec{a}$ + $$1. \vspace{5pt} (\lambda \mu) \vec{a} = \lambda (\mu \vec{a}) = \mu (\lambda \vec{a})$$ + $$2. \vspace{5pt} \lambda (\vec{a} + \vec{b}) = \lambda \vec{a} + \lambda \vec{b}$$ + $$3. \vspace{5pt} (\lambda + \mu)\vec{a} = \lambda \vec{a} +\mu \vec{a}$$ !!! info "Vector product" In addition to multiplying a vector by a scalar, as mentioned above, one can also multiply two vectors among them. -- GitLab
