All the answer is correct
To find the inner product of two vectors, we need to take the conjugate of one vector and then multiply element-wise with the other vector, and finally sum up the results.
Given:
- The first vector: 3/5|0> - 4/5|1>
- The second vector: |+>
Let's start by rewriting the first vector in the sign basis, which means expressing the vector in terms of the eigenvectors of the Pauli Z matrix (also known as the "sign" basis or measurement basis).
In the sign basis, the eigenvectors of the Pauli Z matrix are:
|+> (corresponding to the eigenvalue +1)
|-> (corresponding to the eigenvalue -1)
To rewrite 3/5|0> - 4/5|1> in the sign basis, we need to expand the vector in terms of |+> and |->.
We can start by expressing the ket |0> in terms of the sign basis:
|0> = 1/sqrt(2) * (|+> + |->)
Similarly, we can express the ket |1> in terms of the sign basis:
|1> = 1/sqrt(2) * (|+> - |->)
Substituting these expressions back into the original vector, we have:
3/5|0> - 4/5|1> = 3/5 * (1/sqrt(2) * (|+> + |->)) - 4/5 * (1/sqrt(2) * (|+> - |->))
Now, let's simplify this expression:
= (3/5 * 1/sqrt(2) - 4/5 * 1/sqrt(2)) * |+> + (3/5 * 1/sqrt(2) + 4/5 * 1/sqrt(2)) * |->
= (3 - 4) / (5 * sqrt(2)) * |+> + (3 + 4) / (5 * sqrt(2)) * |->
= -1 / (5 * sqrt(2)) * |+> + 7 / (5 * sqrt(2)) * |->
Now that we have rewritten the vector in the sign basis, we can find the inner product with the ket |+> easily. The inner product is defined as the complex conjugate of the first vector multiplied element-wise with the second vector, and then summed up.
The inner product is calculated as follows:
<+| * (-1 / (5 * sqrt(2)) * |+>) + <-| * (7 / (5 * sqrt(2)) * |->)
= -1 / (5 * sqrt(2)) * <+|+> + 7 / (5 * sqrt(2)) * <-|->
Since <+|+> = 1 and <-|-> = 1, we can simplify further:
= -1 / (5 * sqrt(2)) * 1 + 7 / (5 * sqrt(2)) * 1
= -1 / (5 * sqrt(2)) + 7 / (5 * sqrt(2))
= (7 - 1) / (5 * sqrt(2))
= 6 / (5 * sqrt(2))
So, the inner product of 3/5|0> - 4/5|1> and |+> is 6 / (5 * sqrt(2)).
