The Complex Coordinate Space is a Complex Hilbert Space

Statement

Let nn be a natural number, let Cn\mathbb{C}^{n} be the complex coordinate space with the standard inner product ⟨⋅,⋅⟩\langle\cdot,\cdot\rangle, which is a complex inner product space by The Standard Inner Product Makes the Complex Coordinate Space an Inner Product Space, let ∥⋅∥\lVert\cdot\rVert be the induced norm, and let dd be the metric d(u,v)=∥u−v∥d(u,v)=\lVert u-v\rVert of claim 3 of The Induced Norm is a Norm, and Induces a Metric. Then the following hold.

1. (Completeness) The metric space (Cn,d)(\mathbb{C}^{n},d) is complete.

2. (Hilbert space) Consequently Cn\mathbb{C}^{n} together with the standard inner product is a complex Hilbert space. In particular, taking n=2n=2, the qubit state space is a complex Hilbert space.
