Matrix representations for adjoint and anti-adjoint operators in multi-spin 1/2 systems

摘要

This paper focuses on investigating the problems of matrix representations of adjoint and anti-adjoint operators as well as computations for these matrices in multi-spin 1/2 systems. By introducing a multi-index transformation mapping, adjoint and anti-adjoint operators on tensor space as well as their matrix representations are defined to describe dynamics of multi-spin 1/2 systems. Formulas for computing these matrices of the adjoint and anti-adjoint operators in multi-spin 1/2 systems are given in terms of matrix representations of the adjoint and anti-adjoint operators in single-spin 1/2 systems.
