⋆ In quantum mechanics a two-dimensional complex Hilbert space H is used for describing the angular momentum or “spin” of a spin-half particle (electron, proton, neutron, silver atom), which then provides a physical representation of a qubit. The polarization of a photon (particle of light) is also described by d= 2, so represents a qubit.
