Quantum Mechanics Dictionary
Definition
A quantum mechanics concept defining a model element, mathematical object, or experimental method used to predict measurable outcomes. It applies when required assumptions and definitions are specified and yields computable probabilities and expectation values. It does not ensure correctness without validation of approximations, numerical stability, and consistency of units and conventions.

Definition
A norm on the space of bounded linear operators between normed vector spaces defined as the supremum of the operator's output norms over all inputs of unit norm; equivalently the smallest constant C such that ||T x|| ≤ C ||x|| for all x.

Definition
The operator norm of a bounded linear operator T between normed vector spaces is the supremum of the output norm over all unit input vectors: ||T|| = sup{||Tx|| : ||x|| = 1}, equivalently the smallest constant C such that ||Tx|| ≤ C||x|| for all x.
