Going into dual space for a vector product

22 Views Asked by At

I am a bid confused regarding the notation for tensor products when going into dual-space

If $\left| \Psi \rangle \right. = \left| A \rangle \right. \left| B \rangle \right.$ is $ \left. \langle \Psi \right| = \left. \langle A \right| \left. \langle B \right|$ or $\left. \langle B \right| \left. \langle A \right|$?

My guess is the last choice, since operators should act on

$\left| 0 \rangle \right. = \left( \begin{matrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right) $

$\left| 1 \rangle \right. = \left( \begin{matrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{matrix} \right) $

so

$\left| 01 \rangle \right. = \left| 0 \rangle \right. \left| 1 \rangle \right. = \left( \begin{matrix} 0 \\ 1 \\ 0 \\ 0 \end{matrix} \right) $

But then, for me, it should be

$\left( \begin{matrix} 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \end{matrix} \right) = \left \langle 10 \right|$ But this is not correct if i calculate the tensor product, since

$\left \langle 1 \right| \left \langle 0 \right| = \left( \begin{matrix} 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \end{matrix} \right)$

For instance, shoulden't it be

$\left| 01 \rangle \right. \left \langle 10 \right| = \left( \begin{matrix} 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0\\ \end{matrix} \right) $ ?

I hope I have made my confusion clear
