"The 3rd edition has been rewritten with the use of the notation of bra and ket vectors. This notation allows for a more direct connexion to be made between the formalism in terms of the abstract quantities corresponding to states and observables and the formalism in terms of representatives - in fact the two formalisms become welded into a single comprehensive scheme. With the help of this notation several of the deductions in the book take a simpler and neater form." - from the preface. Dirac shared the Nobel Prize with Schrödinger in 1933 "for the discovery of new productive forms of atomic theory"
