Vectors to describe quantum states can get tedious really quick, so we introduce a new notation.
We can rewrite a quantum state in the following way:

To represent the vector $e_i$ as its classical possibility we use $\ket{}$ .
For a classical possibility x, which is the i-th possibility represented by $e_i$ we use:

Example:

Also we have 2 special cases:

$\ket{+} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{pmatrix}$
$\ket{-} = \begin{pmatrix} \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \\ -\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \end{pmatrix}$
The Teleportation example from [[Quantum Circuits]] with ket notation:
