1 The density operator
... One can have a density operator for the spin space for spin j with j > 1/2. However, it is not so simple. With spin j, there are N = 2j + 1 dimensions. Thus the matrix representing ρ is an N × N self-adjoint matrix, which can be characterized with N 2 real numbers. Since we need Tr[ρ] = 1, we can ch ...
