Part (a) Orthogonal Vectors for Each State
To find a vector orthogonal to each state, recall that two vectors and are orthogonal if their inner product . The coefficients of the basis must be positive and real.
For each , we will find a vector orthogonal to it by setting up and solving the orthogonality condition.
Let’s work through each one to find such vectors.
Part (b) Inner Products
Inner Product :
Using the standard inner product formula:
This expands to:
Inner Product :
This is the complex conjugate of :
Would you like me to proceed with solving the orthogonality condition for part (a) or expand further on the inner products in part (b)?
