February 25 edit

Bloch sphere edit

For some reason I had thought that the Bloch sphere was the infinite-dimensional complex Hilbert space that every wavefunction lives in, rather than just the two-dimensional one. Is there a physics term for the infinite dimensional one? Thanks. 2601:648:8202:350:0:0:0:C115 (talk) 20:27, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, but this is discussed on StackExchage/Physics here; and, have you seen the Hilbert space and related articles? --2603:6081:1C00:1187:1C8F:910:778:CC3A (talk) 22:24, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, those were interesting but none addressed my specific question. Maybe there isn't such a term, which is ok too of course. 2601:648:8202:350:0:0:0:C115 (talk) 01:29, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
