TITLE: Why $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to+\infty}x_n\otimes y_n=x\otimes y\;?$
QUESTION [7 upvotes]: Let  $(E,\langle \cdot,\cdot\rangle_1)$, $(F,\langle \cdot,\cdot\rangle_2)$ be two complex Hilbert spaces. We recall
$$E \otimes F:=\left\{\xi=\sum_{i=1}^dv_i\otimes w_i:\;d\in \mathbb{N},\;\;v_i\in E,\;\;w_i\in F
\right\}.$$
We endow $E \otimes F$, with the following inner product
$$
\langle \xi,\eta\rangle=\sum_{i=1}^n\sum_{j=1}^m \langle x_i,z_j\rangle_1\langle y_i ,t_j\rangle_2,
$$
for $\xi=\displaystyle\sum_{i=1}^nx_i\otimes y_i\in E \otimes F$ and $\eta=\displaystyle\sum_{j=1}^mz_j\otimes w_j\in E \otimes F$.

Let $(x_n)_n\subset E$ and $(y_n)_n\subset F$ such that $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to+\infty}x_n=x$ and $\displaystyle\lim_{n\to+\infty}y_n=y$. Why
  $$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to+\infty}x_n\otimes y_n=x\otimes y\;?$$

Thank you.

$$\begin{split}
0 \leqslant &\|x_n\otimes y_n - x\otimes y\| \hspace{110pt}(\text{subtract and add }x_n\otimes y)\\ 
= & \|x_n\otimes y_n - x_n \otimes y + x_n\otimes y - x\otimes y\| \hspace{28pt}(\text{triangle inequality})\\
\leqslant&\|x_n\otimes y_n - x_n \otimes y\| + \|x_n\otimes y - x\otimes y\| \hspace{18pt}(\text{grouping})\\
= &\|x_n\otimes (y_n - y)\| + \|(x_n - x)\otimes y\| \hspace{44pt}(\text{cross norm } \|x\otimes y\|=\|x\|_1\|y\|_2)\\
 = &\|x_n\|_1\|y_n-y\|_2+\|x_n-x\|_1\|y\|_2\rightarrow 0
\end{split}$$
