Interaction of Pauli matrices with self-adjoint matrices #
The trace of a pauli-matrix multiplied by a self-adjoint 2×2
matrix is real.
Two 2×2
self-adjoint matrices are equal if the (complex) traces of each matrix multiplied by
each of the Pauli-matrices are equal.
Two 2×2
self-adjoint matrices are equal if the real traces of each matrix multiplied by
each of the Pauli-matrices are equal.
The Pauli matrices are linearly independent.
The Pauli matrices span all self-adjoint matrices.
An auxiliary function which on i : Fin 1 ⊕ Fin 3

Pauli-matrix as a self-adjoint matrix with a minus sign for Sum.inr _
