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.
