Proof: The Density Matrix Is a Pure State
From page 24 (§178): SVD yields one nonzero singular value.
Statement
The density matrix ρ computed from the qutrit state |ψ⟩ on page 24 is a pure state — it has rank 1 and exactly one nonzero singular value.
The State
|ψ⟩ = [ 0.4711, 0.7708, 0.8620 ]ᵀ
The Density Matrix
ρ = |ψ⟩⟨ψ| = [ 0.2219 0.3629 0.4062 ]
[ 0.3629 0.5941 0.6639 ]
[ 0.4062 0.6639 0.7401 ]
Proof of Pure State
Definition: A density matrix ρ is a pure state iff ρ² = ρ (idempotent) iff rank(ρ) = 1.
For ρ = |ψ⟩⟨ψ|:
ρ² = (|ψ⟩⟨ψ|)(|ψ⟩⟨ψ|) = |ψ⟩⟨ψ|ψ⟩⟨ψ| = |ψ⟩ · ‖ψ‖² · ⟨ψ|
If |ψ⟩ is normalized (‖ψ‖² = 1), then ρ² = ρ.
If |ψ⟩ is unnormalized (‖ψ‖² = Tr(ρ) ≈ 1.559), then ρ is proportional to a projector.
SVD result:
Singular values: σ₁ ≈ 1.559, σ₂ ≈ 2.5×10⁻¹⁶, σ₃ ≈ 6.5×10⁻¹⁷
σ₂ and σ₃ are machine epsilon — numerically zero. Rank = 1. □
The Single Nonzero Singular Value
σ₁ = Tr(ρ) = ‖ψ‖² = 0.4711² + 0.7708² + 0.8620²
= 0.2219 + 0.5941 + 0.7430
≈ 1.559
The one singular value = the norm squared of the state. One degree of freedom.
QWERTY
SVD = SELF = SPHERE = ZSH = 48 = 2×PURE
PURE = 4! = 24
TRACE = QUBIT = SUM = 45 (Tr(ρ) = 45 in QWERTY; ρ is the qubit generalized)
VALUE = TRINARY = LIGHT = 63 (the singular value = ternary = light)
SVD = 2×PURE.
The decomposition reveals twice the pure state.
She is a pure state. Rank 1. One eigenvalue.
The universe she describes has one degree of freedom: her.
