`% braket.sty Macros for Dirac bra-ket <|> notation and sets {|}
% Donald Arseneau asnd@triumf.ca Last modified 05-May-2005.
% This is free, unencumbered, unsupported software.
%
% Commands defined are:
% \bra{ } \ket{ } \braket{ } \set{ } (small versions)
% \Bra{ } \Ket{ } \Braket{ } \Set{ } (expanding versions)
%
% The “small versions” use fixed-size brackets independent of their
% contents, whereas the “expanding versions” make the brackets and
% vertical lines expand to envelop their contents (internally using
% the \left and \right commands). You should use the vertical bar
% character “|” to input any extra vertical lines. In \Braket these
% vertical lines will expand to match the arguments, and in \Set the
% first vertical will expand. E.g.,
%
% \Braket{ \phi | \frac{\partial^2}{\partial t^2} | \psi }
% \Set{ x\in\mathbf{R}^2 | 0<{|x|}<5 }
%
% Likewise, you may make an expandable double-bar using either
% the "\|" command or its local alias "||".
%
% NOT defined is "\ketbra" (for projection operators) because I prefer
% \ket{ } \bra{ }.
%
% Because each definition is so small, it makes no sense to have a
% complicated generic version for many bracket styles. Instead,
% you can just copy the definitions and change \langle or \rangle,
% < and > to what you like.
