Summary: We study representations of Hilbert bimodules on pairs of Hilbert spaces.
If $A$ is a $C^*$-algebra and $\mathsf{X}$ is a right Hilbert $A$-module,
we use such representations to
faithfully represent the $C^*$-algebras
$\mathcal{K}_A(\mathsf{X})$ and $\mathcal{L}_A(\mathsf{X})$.
We then extend this theory to define representations
of $(A,B)$ $C^*$-correspondences on a pair of Hilbert spaces
and show how these can be obtained from any nondegenerate
representation of $B$.
As an application of such representations,
we give necessary and sufficient conditions on
an $(A,B)$ $C^*$-correspondences to admit a Hilbert $A$-$B$-bimodule structure.
Finally, we show how to represent
the interior tensor product of two $C^*$-correspondences
