Let $H$ be a Hilbert space, we know that weak topology over $B(H)$, operator algebra of bounded linear operators from $H$ into $H$, is the topology generated by $\{\langle \cdot \xi,\eta\rangle:\; \xi,\eta\in H\}$.

So naturally, I think about the norm of $\langle \cdot \xi,\eta\rangle$ as a linear functional over $B(H)$. And I guess that $\|\langle\cdot \xi,\eta\rangle\|=\inf\{\|\xi'\|_H \|\eta'\|_H:\; s.t.\;\langle T \xi',\eta'\rangle = \langle T \xi,\eta\rangle\; \forall T\in B(H)\}$. But I am not sure how can I show that. Indeed I am wondering whether this is correct or not even!
