I'm reading an article where there are an atom with two states, let's call them |0> and |1>. Then the writer defines an operator by
|0><1|
I know how this operator works in the bra ket notaion, but how does it work, if I want to use it in the position basis?
Someone told me that I just can use (as an approximation)
a_0 x a_1^*
where a_0 and a_1 are the states in the position basis. Of cause |0> means a_0 and <1| means a_1^* in the position basis, but just to use a_0 x a_1^* seems to need some explanation, can someone give me one?
