Abstract:

The qutrit comes next in complexity after qubit as a resource for quantum information processing. The qubit density matrix can be easily visualized using Bloch sphere representation of its states. This simplicity is unavailable for the 8-D state space of a qutrit. Recently a 3-D vector was used to visualize the qutrit states. In current work we derive the transformation of these vectors under unitary transformations.
