 +====== Normalize ======
  
 +###
 +for a wavefunction //psi// the method //Normalize()// will change the overall prefactor of the wavefunction such that $\langle \psi | \psi \rangle=1$. 
 +###
 +
 +===== Example =====
 +
 +###
 +We can define the following function:
 +$$
 +|\psi\rangle = \left(a^{\dagger}_0 a^{\dagger}_1 + a^{\dagger}_0 a^{\dagger}_2 + (1+I) a^{\dagger}_1 a^{\dagger}_2 \right)|0\rangle.
 +$$
 +after normalization it becomes
 +$$
 +|\psi\rangle = \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}} a^{\dagger}_0 a^{\dagger}_1 + \frac{1}{\sqrt{4}} a^{\dagger}_0 a^{\dagger}_2 + (1+I)\frac{1}{\sqrt{4}} a^{\dagger}_1 a^{\dagger}_2 \right)|0\rangle.
 +$$

 +print("The norm of psi is ",psi*psi)
 +psi.Normalize()
