Describe the fix or the content request.
Inside a ket, least significant qubits are always on the far right, a la |q_n, q_{n-1}, ... q_1, q_0>. However, there are some places where tensor products are not (as in |q_0> \otimes |q_1> \otimes...). Although there are cases where this is well-suited to a physics context, it is confusing to users. It should be unified so that all syntaxes use the same least-significant, far-right notation.
This will involve very careful review because in some cases the kets are not explicitly labeled.
