Question

Consider two states |Ïˆ1> = 2i|Ï•1> + |Ï•2> - a|Ï•3> + 4|Ï•4> and |Ïˆ2> = 3|Ï•1> - i|Ï•2> + 5|Ï•3> - |Ï•4>, where |Ï•1>, |Ï•2>, |Ï•3>, and |Ï•4> are orthonormal kets, and where a is a constant. Find the value of a so that |Ïˆ1> and |Ïˆ2> are orthogonal.

          Consider two states |Ïˆ1> = 2i|Ï•1> + |Ï•2> - a|Ï•3> + 4|Ï•4>
and
|Ïˆ2> = 3|Ï•1> - i|Ï•2> + 5|Ï•3> - |Ï•4>,
where |Ï•1>,
|Ï•2>, |Ï•3>, and |Ï•4>
are orthonormal kets, and where a is a constant.
Find the value of a so that |Ïˆ1> and
|Ïˆ2> are orthogonal.
