We explicitly determine the Bloch-vector space for arbitrary N -level systems, which generalizes a familiar Bloch ball in 2-level systems.

Bloch vector projection noise

In the optical measurement of the Bloch vector components describing a system of N two-level atoms, the quantum fluctuations in these components are coupled into the measuring optical field. This paper develops the quantum theory of optical measurement of Bloch vector projection noise. The preparation and probing of coherence in an effective two-level system consisting of the two ground states in an atomic three-level lambda-scheme are analyzed.
