  2. Pauli matrices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_matrices

    The fact that the Pauli matrices, along with the identity matrix I, form an orthogonal basis for the Hilbert space of all 2 × 2 complex matrices , over , means that we can express any 2 × 2 complex matrix M as = + where c is a complex number, and a is a 3-component, complex vector.

  3. Generalizations of Pauli matrices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generalizations_of_Pauli...

    This method of generalizing the Pauli matrices refers to a generalization from a single 2-level system to multiple such systems. In particular, the generalized Pauli matrices for a group of qubits is just the set of matrices generated by all possible products of Pauli matrices on any of the qubits. [1]

  4. Two-state quantum system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two-state_quantum_system

    The matrix is the 2×2 identity matrix and the matrices with =,, are the Pauli matrices. This decomposition simplifies the analysis of the system, especially in the time-independent case, where the values of α , β , γ {\displaystyle \alpha ,\beta ,\gamma } and δ {\displaystyle \delta } are constants.

  5. Measurement in quantum mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement_in_quantum...

    The Pauli matrices are traceless and orthogonal to one another with respect to the Hilbert–Schmidt inner product, and so the coordinates (,,) of the state are the expectation values of the three von Neumann measurements defined by the Pauli matrices.

  6. Spin matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_matrix

    Pauli matrices, also called the "Pauli spin matrices". Generalizations of Pauli matrices; Gamma matrices, which can be represented in terms of the Pauli matrices.

  7. Pauli group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pauli_group

    The Pauli group is generated by the Pauli matrices, and like them it is named after Wolfgang Pauli. The Pauli group on n {\displaystyle n} qubits, G n {\displaystyle G_{n}} , is the group generated by the operators described above applied to each of n {\displaystyle n} qubits in the tensor product Hilbert space ( C 2 ) ⊗ n {\displaystyle ...

  8. Spinors in three dimensions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spinors_in_three_dimensions

    There were some precursors to Cartan's work with 2×2 complex matrices: Wolfgang Pauli had used these matrices so intensively that elements of a certain basis of a four-dimensional subspace are called Pauli matrices σ i, so that the Hermitian matrix is written as a Pauli vector. [2] In the mid 19th century the algebraic operations of this algebra of four complex dimensions were studied as ...

  9. List of named matrices - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_named_matrices

    Pauli matrices: A set of three 2 × 2 complex Hermitian and unitary matrices. When combined with the I 2 identity matrix, they form an orthogonal basis for the 2 × 2 complex Hermitian matrices. Redheffer matrix: Encodes a Dirichlet convolution. Matrix entries are given by the divisor function; entires of the inverse are given by the Möbius ...
