Three-axis obstruction to unitary qubit orthogonalization
ID: three-axis-obstruction-to-unitary-qubit-orthogonalization
No fixed unitary operator maps both eigenstate rays of each of the three Pauli matrices to their orthogonal partners. Such a map would give , and . But unitary conjugation preserves multiplication. The relation would imply both and , a contradiction.
