Nov 7, 2014 at 13:34	comment	added	adipy		$+\left\| -x\right\rangle$ is the state of a particle at position -x, with phase +1. $-\left\| +x\right\rangle$ is the state of a particle at position +x, with phase -1. The overall phase doesn't matter, but keeps track of whether two states will interfere constructively or destructively. (you simply add coefficients of states, so opposite sign phases cancel out)
