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.
Two axes alone do not suffice: flips the X- and Z-basis labels while preserving the Y-basis labels. Thus six specified input rays already obstruct a unitary implementation, without requiring tests on every point of the Bloch sphere.
