Tensor Products of Hilbert Spaces
The algebraic tensor product of two Hilbert spaces A and B has a natural positive definite sesquilinear form induced by the sesquilinear forms of A and B. So in particular it has a natural positive definite quadratic form, and the corresponding completion is a Hilbert space A⊗B, called the (Hilbert space) tensor product of A and B.
If the vectors ai and bj run through orthonormal bases of A and B, then the vectors ai⊗bj form an orthonormal basis of A⊗B.
