In quantum mechanics, the ket notation for vectors was introduced in 1939 by Paul Dirac for describing the quantum states. In this framework, the dot product was easily rendered as a bra-ket operation. Here, we show that it is also possible to represent the cross product of vectors within this notation. We will consider the case of Euclidean vectors in a three-dimensional space with orthonormal basis vectors.

Abstract: | In quantum mechanics, the ket notation for vectors was introduced in 1939 by Paul Dirac for describing the quantum states. In this framework, the dot product was easily rendered as a bra-ket operation. Here, we show that it is also possible to represent the cross product of vectors within this notation. We will consider the case of Euclidean vectors in a three-dimensional space with orthonormal basis vectors. |
