Density Matrix
... In summary, by the term “state of a system” we will understand as state of a micro or macroscopic system defined by its complete density matrix. With that understanding, not all states are characterized by a state vector. Only pure states for which ρ = |ψ >< ψ| are defined by a state vector. Energy ...

... components. The component method is generally more useful. We use unit vectors i and j to signify the x and y directions, respectively. So a vector that is three units in the x direction and 4 in the y direction would be written: v = 3i + 4j • Question: What is the magnitude of this vector? The angl ...
