  3. Bra–ket notation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bra–ket_notation

    Bra–ket notation, also called Dirac notation, is a notation for linear algebra and linear operators on complex vector spaces together with their dual space both in the finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional case.

  4. Magnetic quantum number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_quantum_number

    In atomic physics, a magnetic quantum number is a quantum number used to distinguish quantum states of an electron or other particle according to its angular momentum along a given axis in space. The orbital magnetic quantum number (m l or m [a]) distinguishes the orbitals available within a given subshell of an atom.

  9. Term symbol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Term_symbol

    In atomic physics, a term symbol is an abbreviated description of the total spin and orbital angular momentum quantum numbers of the electrons in a multi-electron atom.So while the word symbol suggests otherwise, it represents an actual value of a physical quantity.
