The Hilbert space representation theorem: Since Hilbert space vectors are kets, it should be "every bra corresponds to a unique ket", the other direction being obvious. Also reformulated: the theorem _does_ hold, and removed an unclear link
Line 23:
Historically, the theorem is often attributed simultaneously to [[Frigyes Riesz|Riesz]] and [[Maurice René Fréchet|Fréchet]] in 1907 (see references).
 
In the mathematical treatment of [[quantum mechanics]], the theorem can be seen as a justification for the popular [[bra–ket notation]]. WhenThe thetheorem theoremsays holdsthat, every ketbra <math>|\psilangle\ranglepsi|</math> has a corresponding braket <math>|\langlepsi\psi|rangle</math>, and the correspondencelatter is unambiguous. cf. also [[Rigged Hilbert space]]unique.
