Final answer:

To find the resultant state of the given bra-ket calculation (Sx⊗Sy⊗Sz)ΨGHZ, apply each spin operator to ΨGHZ in the given order: Sx, Sy, and Sz.

Step-by-step explanation:

The bra-ket notation is commonly used in quantum mechanics to represent the inner product between two quantum states. In this case, we are given the state ψGHZ and a series of spin operators Sx, Sy, and Sz. To find the resultant state, we can apply each spin operator to ψGHZ in the given order:

  1. Apply Sx to ψGHZ.
  2. Apply Sy to the result of step 1.
  3. Finally, apply Sz to the result of step 2.

Each spin operator will have a corresponding matrix representation. Multiply the matrix of each spin operator with the vector representation of the current state to obtain the new state after each operator is applied.
