- The corresponding Hilbert space is the two-dimensional complex Hilbert space C2, with each quantum state corresponding to a unit vector in C2 (unique up to phase).
- "θ" for a wave at an angle "θ" to the normal direction (or equivalently, taking the dot product of the Poynting vector with the unit vector normal to the interface).
- , so it is "not" the unit vector in the direction of the "x"-axis.
- In mathematics it is a common convention to express the normal as a unit vector, but the above argument holds for a normal vector of any non-zero length.
- is a unit vector in the direction of flow, i.e. tangent to a flowline.
- By definition, 1 is the magnitude, absolute value, or norm of a unit complex number, unit vector, and a unit matrix (more usually called an identity matrix).
- To describe this anisotropic structure, a dimensionless unit vector "n" called the "director", is introduced to represent the direction of preferred orientation of molecules in the neighborhood of any point.
- is unit vector directed along the direction of extension, [...] is unit vector directed perpendicular to the direction of extension.
- If the normal unit vector "n" of the surface (pointing from "Q" towards "P") is assumed fixed, the normal component can be expressed by a single number, the dot product [...].
- dotted with a unit vector gives the slope of the hill in the direction of the vector, the directional derivative of [...] along the unit vector.
- In particular, when "V" is a unit vector, [...] remains unit speed throughout, so the geodesic flow is tangent to the unit tangent bundle.
- A "unit vector" is any vector with a length of one; normally unit vectors are used simply to indicate direction.
- Taking the dot product of any unit vector with the above formula generates the expression of any single qubit operator under any rotation. For example, it can be shown that [...].
- The [...] th column of an identity matrix is the unit vector [...] , a vector whose [...] th entry is 1 and 0 elsewhere. The determinant of the identity matrix is 1, and its trace is [...].
- The unit vector has the advantage of simplifying equations for a single boost, allows either [...] or [...] to be reinstated when convenient, and the rapidity parametrization is immediately obtained by replacing [...] and [...].
- A vector [...] is called a unit vector if [...]. A basis for [...] consisting of mutually orthogonal unit vectors is called an orthonormal basis.
- is any unit vector, the projection of the curl of [...] onto [...] may be defined to be the limiting value of a closed line integral in a plane orthogonal to [...] divided by the area enclosed, as the path of integration is contracted indefinitely around the point.
- From the heliocentric point of view consider the vector to the planet [...] where [...] is the distance to the planet and [...] is a unit vector pointing towards the planet.
