Multipoles from Majorana constellations

Quantum Physics 2024-01-17 v1

Abstract

Majorana stars, the 2S2S spin coherent states that are orthogonal to a spin-SS state, offer an elegant method to visualize quantum states, disclosing their intrinsic symmetries. These states are naturally described by the corresponding multipoles. These quantities can be experimentally determined and allow for an SU(2)-invariant analysis. We investigate the relationship between Majorana constellations and state multipoles, thus providing insights into the underlying symmetries of the system. We illustrate our approach with some relevant and informative examples.
