In general, 0 <= i <= Length@ket ?

That decremented the value in position i.

That, too, decremented the value in position i.

But that decremented the value in position i+1.
Which position should be decremented, i or i+1 ?
If it's i+1 then what should happen when i = Length@ket ?

That incremented the value in position i+1.
Does i in Bi refer to the same position that i in Ai does?
What should B0 give?
