The Pauli spin matrices play a important role in the manipulation and analysis of quantum systems in the field of quantum information. These matrices are a set of three 2×2 matrices, named after Wolfgang Pauli, that represent the spin of a particle in quantum mechanics. They are denoted as σx, σy, and σz, and are
