Abstract

Pauli spin matrices, Pauli group, commutators, anti-commutators and the Kronecker product are studied. Applications to eigenvalue problems, exponential functions of such matrices, spin Hamilton operators, mutually unbiased bases, Fermi operators and Bose operators are provided.

Entanglement, Kronecker Product, Pauli Spin Matrices and a Nonlinear Eigenvalue Problem

Willi-Hans Steeb, Yorick Hardy

Entanglement for the eigenvectors of a nonlinear eigenvalue problem given by the Kronecker product of the Pauli spin matrices is investigated. Fully and partially entangled eigenvectors are found.

The Kronecker product and some of its physical applications

Francisco Marcelo Fernández

Abstract In a typical introductory course on quantum mechanics the student has to face two quite different operator products. One of them leads to, for example, commutators and the uncertainty principle, and the other appears when one goes from a one-particle system to a multi-particle one. The latter gives rise to the direct or tensor product of operators and vector spaces, and to the Kronecker product of the matrix representations of the operators. We illustrate the practical utility of the Kronecker product by means of two spin systems commonly discussed in introductory courses on quantum mechanics and also by means of a simple model for the interpretation of the NMR signal produced by two interacting protons.

Kronecker-Pauli Operators

Christian Rakotonirina

In quantum mechanics, there are some classical bases which are generalized to higher dimensional matrices. So, it is useful to express their corresponding operators using the Dirac Bra and Ket. In this paper, to express the corresponding operators we review the Kronecker-Pauli matrices and how to construct them for an N-dimensional system, with N a prime integer, N>2. Then, we give the expression of the Kronecker-Pauli operators and show that their matrices with respect to the standard basis fulfill the conditions to form a Kronecker-Pauli matrices.

Pauli spin matrices

S. M. Blinder

In this Demonstration, you can display the products, commutators, or anticommutators of any two Pauli matrices. It is instructive to explore the combinations σ(+-)=σ1+(+-)iσ2 that represent spin-ladder operators
