... We define a dual space of bra vectors hφ| and a scalar product hφ|ψi, a complex number.1 For any |ψi there corresponds a unique hψ| and we require hφ|ψi = hψ|φi∗ . We require the scalar product to be linear such that |ψi = a1 |ψ1 i + a2 |ψ2 i implies hφ|ψi = a1 hφ|ψ1 i + a2 hφ|ψ2 i. We see that hψ|φ ...

Hence Rule 2 holds true. Rule 3 is also satisfied, since S1 and S2 cannot move outside R: it is again possible to find an ...
