Quantum State
Magnet can be taken as the “spin”
Magnetic dipole = “classical spin”.

Stern‐Gerlach Experiment
From Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Quantum_spin_and_the_Stern‐Gerlach_experiment.ogv
Quantum spin ≠ Magnetic dipole of magnet
Quantum Spin = Quantum State
= Qubit (Quantum Bit)
Density Operator = Quantum State
Quantum state is written in the vector form.
matrix
As the vector can be characterized by the complete orthogonal basis, the matrix can also be. Two‐by‐two matrix is given by with
Example:

Strong measurement must lead to the change of the quantum state.
Strong measurement can only tell us the probability of physical quantity. Born Rule for Density Operator
Probability of quantum measurement is given by Born rule

Expectation value for density operator
In general, the expectation value is Why?
When we know the expectation value of the Pauli operators, we can evaluate the quantum state; mapping to the Bloch sphere.

We need the post‐

Is it possible to demonstrate the quantum state without the post‐
information processing?
