\evs*stars*starm{a}math contentg{b}optional math contentArgspec s s m g — three optional and one mandatory argument. Reading argspecs
Examples#
In TeXForm#
TeXForm parses this entry as prefix syntax; the package determines its argument specification.
Expands to#
\ev{#1}{#2} \left\langle{#2}\right\vert{#1}\left\vert{#2}\right\rangleDepends on star modifiers. If no second argument, it's just \langle{#1}\rangle.
Expand expectation-value helpers to explicit angle brackets.
\ev{#1} \left\langle #1 \right\rangleEquivalent forms#
\expectationvalue{A}exactLong form of
\ev\expval{A}exactAlternative short alias
