one instance of '2'. But why do we need a 2 x 2 density matrix to capture that? Surely the probabilities add to one, so a single number would suffice to capture the state probabilities? Even if you want to explicitly (and redundantly) write the two spin probabilities, you still only need two numbers. So why are four numbers needed, and why organized in two rows, two cols? My objective in this paragraph is not to press on that specific question, but rather to illustrate the type of shortcoming that besets this article, and the Example section provides the most concrete instances.

or one oriented horizontally, or at any angle in between. We can ask whether the photon will pass through a left-handed circular polarizer, or a right-handed one. In each experiment, there will be some probability of success, and the probability of failure will be 1 minus that of course, but that probability of success can be different for each measurement. The remarkable thing is that the probabilities for all the different possible measurements hang together so well — that all the information we need to compute them fits into a single 2 × 2 matrix.
6480:(e) The example could be further clarified to show how it exemplifies "The density matrix is a representation of a linear operator called the density operator. The density matrix is obtained from the density operator by choice of basis in the underlying space." What is the "density operator" for this example, and how is the density matrix derived from it? I suspect this relates to your comment "matrix is written in the basis of energy eigenstates.", though neither energy nor eigenstates are mentioned in the article. 84: 1086:
of thermodynamics requiring the entropy to increase. You can find this under Feynman's set of lectures on statistical mechanics. Two things to note: 1) The entropy defined by density matrices for single particles stays constant under Schroedinger's time evolution and when measured (because it is always pure), in total agreement with Hamiltonian dynamics. 2) The same entropy defined by density matrices, but this time for ensembles, increases, in agreement with thermodynamics but against Hamiltonian dynamics.

indivisible particle / system, then a mixed state makes no sense; rather, a single particle can only be in a pure state, and merely changed from one into another by a measurement. It is particularly confusing because of the terminology being overloaded to mean something completely different. In this case, we tend to denote the pure state of a single particle, but specifically a linear combination of the eigenbasis of an incompatible measuring operator, as a "mixed state".
182: 158: 7075:, one small piece at a time. I often read wikipedia with the intent of finding errors, or unclear statements, and then either research the topic - or if I already know, rephrase or add text to lower the bar for others to obtain the knowledge. So this makes me a bit sad... I guess, that my real only response could be: If you want an easy and probably adequate intro to this specific topic that this article is about, then see: 6477:(d) what do the specific example values mean? In other words, how do the values in the slots of the matrix correspond to the values mentioned in the main narrative? Obviously there are "0.5" entries in the "before" matrix, and there are "50%"s mentioned in the main narrative, but for two different quantities. One of which is probability, which you say is not what the matrix captures directly. 22: 6506:, among others), but I've never had the time. Apparently it's even worse than I thought, if it's this confusing! I'm not quite sure what your questions are asking for (which is probably an indication that the current article is so confusing it's hard to ask clear questions about it). The matrix in the figure is two-dimensional — i.e., a square rather than a cube, a 4899:. This lead, particularly the first sentence, failed this requirement to an almost comical degree. I have rearranged the text and streamlined it to improve readability without changing any of the content. However, someone should take this even further and replace some of the technical terminology in the last paragraph by a more accessible discussion. 7037:) before reading about how to handle quantum states that are noisy, statistical ensembles of a large number of states, suffered from decoherence, et.c.

Finding what seems to me to be an error in the intro, which was corrected (see above). · · · 1128:"There is a theorem stating that a system with a Hamiltonian, be it classical or quantum, has an entropy that is never-increasing". I am awfully confused about the details of this theorem. The universe is a system with a Hamiltonian -- do you agree? The universe has an entropy that increases -- do you agree? 3845:, which the link defines as all the elements are greater than zero. This is clearly not true of a density matrix. Also shouldn't there be a condition on the density matrix that keeps the coherences (off-diagonals) smaller than the populations (on-diagonal elements). Otherwise the matrix isn't physical?-- 7070:
Hmm. Here you essentially give me the choice of either answering, or refraining from making further updates. What can I say? This wikipedia-thing is a community project, and in that regard, it is like the Linux operating system during its infancy, when only unpaid nerds were contributing: We build it
6556:
A density matrix tells us more than the probabilities for what might happen in a single experiment. It's a catalogue of probabilities for all the measurements we can imagine! (See the "Measurement" section.) We can ask whether the photon will get through a linear polarized filter oriented vertically,

For example (!), when I ask why does the example show a 2D matrix, with 2x2 entries, your response "because photons spin-1" omits saying why "photons spin-1" has anything to do with 2D or 2x2. Now, I had already inferred that photons having a spin property which can take on one of two states explains

would be on the line between R and L, four-fifths of the way towards R, if memory serves. Suppose you put light through a linear polarizer that allowed (1,0,0) on the sphere to pass 100%, and (-1,0,0) on the sphere is blocked 100%. I bet the intensity fraction passing through for light at (x,y,z) on

I'm not sure whether I understood the difference between a superposition and a mixed state - is it true or not that a superposition means that the photon is (in some way) in both quantum states at once until measurement, but in a mixed state, the photon is physically in one of the pure states but we

I'm sorry I still don't believe what you said. In fact, to be honest, I don't understand what you said about the relation between ensembles and factorizations. I can't believe that it's standard; if indeed it were standard it would be easy to come up with a source in the form page X of Y which says

I disagree with the prescription, even though it is technically correct. The original explanation is clearly talking about pure ensemble states being converted into a mixed ensemble state by measurement. It might have been motivated by hindsight. If, instead, the measurement had been conducted on an

Third, in the case of entangled states, it should explain exactly why a system cannot be in a pure state. It seems to me that entangled objects either share the same quantum state or have states that sum to zero. Either way, entangled objects may have pure or mixed states. I don't know if I'm right

Hi, surely there is some thing missing in the text and is bringing confusion to the reader. Confusion is arising because explanation started with the passing of vertical polarized through a circular polarizer as given below: "If we pass (|R\rangle +|L\rangle )/{\sqrt {2}} polarized light through a

There is a theorem stating that a system with a Hamiltonian, be it classical or quantum, has an entropy that is never-increasing (luckily, it tends to be constant). The immediate consequence is that the entropy defined by density matrices would then be never-increasing, directly against the 2nd law

so what's the problem with self adjoint operators as observables? in the finite dim case, the C* algebraic and SA operator formulations are the same. if one is to completely abandon the SA operator formulation, how does one come up with the C*-algebra of observables in the first place? As stated in

Yes, I have become lazy during the last few months and stopped logging in. But here I am with my accountable account. I am not sure how to read your comment - I am not sure what to say in response. (WP:NOFORUM or whatever its called might be relevant.) However: 1) if its not a quantum system, them
3997:
Cool, I think I get it now :D One clarification: when you say "Unlike linearly polarized light, passes through a polarizer at any angle", do you mean that it all passes through or half of it passes through? Also, maybe mixed states should be mentioned in the lead by name - I realise now that this

Frankly, I don't believe this is true. (If the projections are assumed pairwise orthogonal, of coure it's just the spectral theorem). This claim would imply that all probability measures on the compact convex set of states, supported on the extreme points, are "unitarily equivalent" provided they

Density matrices are a semi-advanced topic in quantum mechanics; at least in my day, an introductory course wasn't likely to cover them. So, most explanations that one will find are likely to presume at least a moderate background in mathematics, and questions like "why 2D" simply won't be on the

I agree that QM is complex and requires lots of reading. It may be even worse than that: even after reading all of the QM garden, one still may not really understand much of it. But, yes, this is not a forum. As to whether you corrected a problem in the article, I will have to disagree, for your

2. “The indices simply label whatever basis the matrix is written in, for example the basis of energy eigenstates.” I may be missing something, but this appears to say that the indices of the matrix work like indices of a matrix, although I am not quite sure how to parse “label whatever basis”.

674:
Actually, it's more complicated then that. For uncountably infinite dimensional systems, you can't write the operator as a matrix, even if you have a 'basis' .... so the term 'operator' covers a much more general case than the term 'matrix' does ... this article should actually be called Density

one should not try to explain it as a quantum system. 2) "...but my point is that the existing explanation isn't detailed enough" - this article can not be read in isolation, it requires prior knowledge of other topics. It is probably a good idea to start reading about normal "pure state" (e.g.
6660:'s recent improvements, I'm willing to upgrade my estimation of the article to "basically fine, as far as it goes". Bits here and there can doubtless be tuned up, the later sections might benefit from expansion, and some topics could still be added, but I think the page is now more in line with 6592:
you are right. i wish i had read the talk page a few hours ago. this entire page is a disaster, and it's wrong. it shouldn't be using 'little p' to represent the general density operator. every definition i've seen leaves it as a dyadic product which you can determine will sum to one after some
6294:
Well, a diagonal density matrix isn't really a "classical state"; it's a quantum state that is diagonal in the given basis (and would generally have coherences with respect to a rotated basis). I'll go back and read some standard references like Schlosshauer; maybe that'll suggest some phrasing
3884:
The article says that the density matrix was first developed by von Neumann, Landau and Bloch in 1927, but Bloch's articles only go as far back as 1945 on ISI web of knowledge, and I can't find anything by von Neumann. Can someone please provide the references for where the density matrix first

here is a more elementary issue, but could also be a problem. as stated in article, if your observables are compact operators, then the states are precisely what's defined in the article. but if you wanna define a quantum operation in the Schrodinger picture, then it's a map between trace-class
790:
I completely agree: the time evolution of a density matrix is, in general, more general that the von Neumann equation. And this time evolution simply “generates“ density matrices/operators (or mixed states) from pure states. Just adding “Lindblad equation“ to the further references list, is not

The operator is the actual mathematical object, where the matrix is one of its many possible representations. Infact, in a different basis, the same operator is represented by a different matrix. This is true for finite and infinite dimensions. So I suggest to change the name of the article to

In fact, if you take the unique positive square root, you get a positive operator. The columns of this operator are not going to be orthogonal (except in some trivial cases). How do you get an ensemble of orthonormal states. Do you mean the spectral decomposition of A? Could you please be more

The whole "C*-algebraic formulation of density states" section seems pretty unnecessary to me - right now, it's a lot of jargon that doesn't even make sense to a physicist. Also, a statement like "It is now generally accepted that the description of quantum mechanics in which all self-adjoint

The page includes the usual method of obtaining the density matrix from spinors but does not show the less well known method of obtaining spinors from density matrices. I'll go ahead and add it in. If you haven't seen the method, see Julian Schwinger's "Quantum Kinematics and Dynamics" or

my proposal is that, if we do propose a rewrite, we adopt a more mathematical notation. i don't mind either McWeeny (1955) and Lowdin (1955). i found davidson to be a great source that adopted McWeeny and Lowdin for bra-ket, but it's not a drop-in replacement for what we have right now.
5401:
It may be better to alter the first sentence to say that the density matrix describes a state prior to measurement, which in practice is always a mixed state, since measurement can never be guaranteed to exactly align with the singularly pure aspect (orientation) of the state prepared.

So are the values at the coordinates of the matrix samples of some large multi-dimensional probability density function, within which one can interpolate? Or are the values at each matrix coordinate actually independent probability density functions in their own right?

Thanks for explaining it to me! This seems quite a good way a writing an article - a knowledgable person repeatedly rewriting it until the beginner finally understands :) There is one sentence that's still a bit unclear "By contrast, an example of a mixed state would be

But this isn't true. To take a trivial example; any state ρ is representable as a trivial convex combination of 1 times itself ρ= 1 × ρ (cardinbality 1) and if it's a non-extremal state, at least one other non-trivial convex combination of two other states (cardinality

True. How about, "we know the matrix is gradually becoming diagonal"? We do know that there is a transition period between the existence of a quantum state and its replacement by a classical state (the diagonal matrix). Collapse doesn't happen in a femtosecond, right?
1332:
Why? Ensembles have the structure of a convex set. One might naturally associate to an ensemble to a probability measure supported on the convex set of density operators, but from there to the characterization given in the most recent edit, is in my view unjustified.

This is also explained in the article it seems. The section "Example: light polarization" contains an explanation of this (see esp. the last sentence in that section). So, it seems the intro is in contradiction with the rest of the article?
