Abstract
The words “Hilbert space” here will always denote what mathematicians call a separable Hilbert space. It is composed of vectors each with a denumerable infinity of coordinates q1, q2,q3, Usually the coordinates are considered to be complex numbers and each vector has a squared length Σr,|qr,|2,. This squared length must converge in order that the q’s may specify a Hilbert vector.
