Hi! Is there a straightforward way to do simple operations in the braket-formalism with Mathematica? I stumbled across the "New notation"-Demo [1], but in Linux, Mathematica does not accept the angular brackets (in In[28]:=... of [1]). It marks them as "missing closure" (i.e. in a purple colour) and In[33]:= (of [1]) therefore returns Syntax::sntxb : Expression cannot beginn with "a,:psi:|:phi:" (:psi:,:phi: represented as greek letters). In this spirit With many thanks in advance Yours Gernot --- [1] http://documents.wolfram.com/v5/Demos/Notebooks/NewNotations.html
