Understanding a discrepancy in tensor multiplication

48 Views Asked by At

I have seen in texts about quantum computing people take two vectors and do tensor multiplication. Now, what confuses me is that vectors are (1,0)-tensors. This means that when I multiply two of them, I get a (2,0)-tensor. However, they treat the result as a vector, that is (1,0)-tensor, which should be a type error as far as I can see.

Could someone explain where is the mistake?
