 !!! note "Naming convention for quantum harmonic oscillator bases"
     The defined basis for arbitrary symbolic bosonic states is a `FockBasis` object, due to a shared naming interface for Quantum physics packages. For instance, the command `basis(CoherentState(im))` will output `Fock(cutoff=Inf)`. This may lead to confusion, as not all bosonic states are Fock states. However, this is simply a naming convention for the basis, and symbolic and numerical results are not affected by it.
 
+Summarized below are supported bosonic states.

-Operations on bosonic states are supported, and can be simplified with `qsimplify` and its rewriter `qsimplify_fock`. For instance, we can apply the raising (creation) $\hat{a}^{\dagger}$ and lowering (annihilation or destroy) $\hat{a}$ operators on a Fock state as follows:

 !!! warning "Cutoff specifications for numerical representations of quantum harmonic oscillators"
-    Symbolic bosonic states and operators are naturally represented in an infinite dimension basis. For numerical conversions of such quantum objects, a finite cutoff of the highest allowed state must be defined. By default, the basis dimension of numerical conversions is set to 3 (so the number representation cutoff is 2), as demonstrated above. To define a different cutoff, one must customize the `QuantumOpticsRepr` instance, e.g. provide `QuantumOpticsRepr(cutoff=n::Int)` to `express`.
