The Pauli matrices, also called the Pauli spin matrices, are complex matrices that arise in Pauli’s treatment of spin in quantum mechanics. They are defined by sigma_1 = sigma_x=P_1=[ 0 1; 1 0] (1) sigma_2 = sigma_y=P_2=[ 0 -i; i 0] (2) sigma_3 = sigma_z=P_3=[ 1 0; 0 -1] (3) (Condon and Morse 1929, p. 213; Gasiorowicz 1974, p. 232; Goldstein 1980, p. 156; Liboff 1980, p. 453; Arfken 1985, p …
