Calculating the product between two bra vectors
It seems that you misunderstood the table. The notation you are asking about, i.e. $|S\rangle$ and $|Y\rangle$, is called Dirac bra-ket notation and it is used for row and column vectors with ...

Inner product of multiple qubit registers
I suppose you can pick any notation you want, however, in any standard notation, anything inside the ket/bra is treated as the name of the state (a "string" object if you're OK with thinking ...

Inner product of multiple qubit registers
Depends on the notation, I guess. For product states, when
$$|ABC\rangle=|A\rangle|B\rangle|C\rangle,\quad |abc\rangle=|a\rangle|b\rangle|c\rangle$$
the inner product is
$$\langle ABC|abc\rangle =\...

How to check if a $n$-qubit unitary is the tensor product of single-qubit unitaries
TL;DR: A two-qubit unitary operator $U$ is a product operator, i.e. $U=U_1\otimes U_2$ for some single-qubit unitaries $U_1$ and $U_2$ if and only if $U$ has Schmidt rank one
$$
U = U_1\otimes U_2 \...
