Hi all,

Using the Physics package, I have defined a density operator, shown in the image below:

Definition of Density Operator

(I did assume(s ≠i), assume(v≠h).

I then operate on it with the Bracket as shown in the next image:

Bracket on Density Operator

 

I think this should evaluate to (|Y,s,h><Y,s,h|)/2; or at least that's the result I want. However, Maple evaluates this to zero.

Is there a where to convince Maple to evaluate this to what I want/expect?

Thanks in advance,

Kevin
