 # Dirac notation
-**Dirac notation** (or **bra-ket notation**) is a convenient way to name vectors in a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$ (via "kets") and its dual space $\mathcal{H}^*$ (via "bras"). Kets are written as $\lvert\text{name}\rangle$ and bras are written as $\langle\text{name}\rvert$. The text inside a bra or ket has no intrinsic meaning — it is simply a label, much like naming a variable in programming.
