+    Returns the QR decomposition of a full column rank matrix (or a stack of matrices).
+
+    If ``x`` is real-valued, let :math:`\mathbb{K}` be the set of real numbers :math:`\mathbb{R}`, and, if ``x`` is complex-valued, let :math:`\mathbb{K}` be the set of complex numbers :math:`\mathbb{C}`.

+    The **complete QR decomposition** of a matrix :math:`x \in\ \mathbb{K}^{n \times n}` is defined as
+
+    .. math::
+       x = QR
+
+    where :math:`Q \in\ \mathbb{K}^{m \times m}` is orthogonal when ``x`` is real-valued and unitary when ``x`` is complex-valued and where :math:`R \in\ \mathbb{K}^{m \times n}` is an upper triangular matrix with real diagonal (even when ``x`` is complex-valued).
+
+    When :math:`m \gt n` (tall matrix), as :math:`R` is upper triangular, the last :math:`m - n` rows are zero. In this case, the last :math:`m - n` columns of :math:`Q` can be dropped to form the **reduced QR decomposition**.

+       x = QR
+
+    where :math:`Q \in\ \mathbb{K}^{m \times n}` and :math:`R \in\ \mathbb{K}^{n \times n}`.
+
+    The reduced QR decomposition equals with the complete QR decomposition when :math:`n \qeq m` (wide matrix).
+
+    When ``x`` is a stack of matrices, the function must compute the QR decomposition for each matrix in the stack.
 
     .. note::
        Whether an array library explicitly checks whether an input array is a full column rank matrix (or a stack of full column rank matrices) is implementation-defined.
 
+    .. warning::
+       The elements in the diagonal of :math:`R` are not necessarily positive. Accordingly, the returned QR decomposition is only unique up to the sign of the diagonal of :math:`R`, and different libraries or inputs on different devices may produce different valid decompositions.
+
+    .. warning::
+       The QR decomposition is only well-defined if the first ``k = min(m,n)`` columns of every matrix in ``x`` are linearly independent.
