Since you are taking about inner products, you might look at generalizing some of the code in the quantum module so that it just uses the vector module. Some notes:
- the quantum module uses infinite dimensional vector spaces, so it will need to work more symbolically than just rewriting everything as matrices. But you can still abstract away a lot of code this way. I haven't read your proposal in depth, so this may not be within its scope, but I would encourage you to consider it. - physicists represent inner products different from mathematicians. They use bras and kets, and more importantly, the conjugation convention is reversed. So the base classes would need to be ignorant of things like this, so that the main SymPy subclass can use the standard math convention and the physics subclass can use the physics convention. By the way, real vector spaces and complex vector spaces are fundamentally different. So far you seem to be using only real, since I haven't noticed any mention of conjugation. In general, you can actually use any field, but that is probably too algebraicmformwhat you are trying to implement.
