Hyperspherical Parameterization of Unitary Matrices

Abstract

Unitary operators are essential to quantum mechanics, however for discrete systems larger than a qubit, it is difficult to express them in a self-contained way. This report presents just such a description, providing a compact, useful parameterization, with examples of physical applications.
