Qubit - Representation

Representation

The two states in which a qubit may be measured are known as basis states (or basis vectors). As is the tradition with any sort of quantum states, Dirac, or bra-ket notation, is used to represent them. This means that the two computational basis states are conventionally written as and (pronounced "ket 0" and "ket 1").
