Abstract
The aim of this paper is to derive explicit formulae for the Riemannian Bures metric on the manifold of (finite dimensional) nondegenerate density matrices. The computation of the Bures metric using the presented equations does not require any diagonalization procedure and uses matrix products, determinants and traces, only.
