1 Elements of Dirac NotationFrank RiouxIn the early days of quantum theory, P. A. M. (Paul Adrian Maurice) Dirac created apowerful and concise formalism for it which is now referred to as Dirac Notation or bra-ket(bracket ) Notation . Two major mathematical traditions emerged in quantum mechanics:Heisenberg s matrix mechanics and Schr dinger s wave mechanics. These distinctly differentcomputational approaches to quantum theory are formally equivalent, each with its particularstrengths in certain applications. Heisenberg s variation, as its name suggests, is based matrix andvector algebra, while Schr dinger s approach requires integral and differential calculus.
