Because of this Benesh can be presented with a timeline or musical accompaniment. Each staff in the Benesh stave coincides with the head, shoulders, waist, knees and floor (from top to bottom) and addition signs are u ...

Bra-ket notation is the standard notation for describing quantum states in the theory of quantum mechanics. It can also be used to denote abstract vectors and linear functionals in pure mathematics. It is so called because the inner product of two states is denoted by a bracket, , consisting of a left part, , called the bra, and a right part, , called the ket. The notation was invented by Paul Dirac, and is also known as Dirac notation. It has recently become popular in quantum computing. Bra- ...
