N-qubit states as points on the Bloch sphere

Quantum Physics 2015-05-14 v2

Abstract

We show how the Majorana representation can be used to express the pure states of an N-qubit system as points on the Bloch sphere. We compare this geometrical representation of N-qubit states with an alternative one, proposed recently by the present authors.
