Pauli Matrices
Matrices which arise in Pauli's 
treatment of spin 
in quantum mechanics. They are defined by
 |  |  | (1) |
 | |  | (2) |
 | |  | (3) |
The Pauli matrices plus the
Identity Matrix I form a complete set, so any matrix A can beexpressed as | (4) |
The associated matrices
 |  |  | (5) |
 | |  | (6) |
 | |  | (7) |
can also be defined. The Pauli spin matrices satisfy the identities

 | (9) |
 | (10) |
