Abstract

FINDING: Bloch sphere is the geometric representation of a single qubit's pure state space, isomorphic to the Riemann sphere (CP¹), with topology and geometry (Wilson lines, band eigenstates) linking quantum information to condensed matter. | MATH: Qubit state \(|\psi\rangle = \cos(\theta/2)|0\rangle + e^{i\phi}\sin(\theta/2)|1\rangle\); Bloch vector \(\mathbf{r} = (\sin\theta\cos\phi, \sin\theta\sin\phi, \cos\theta)\); sphere \(S^2 \cong \mathbb{CP}^1 \cong SU(2)/U(1)\); metric \(ds^2 = d\theta^2 + \sin^2\theta\, d\phi^2\) (Fubini–Study); Berry phase \(\gamma = \oint \mathcal{A} = \Omega/2\) (solid angle subtended); Tsirelson bound \(2\sqrt{2} \approx 2.828\) for CHSH correlation (not directly in these snippets but implied by "topological origin" search context). | CONNECTION: The Bloch sphere's equatorial great circle and polar angles yield ratios: \(\cos^2(\theta/2)\) probabilities give golden-ratio-related amplitudes when \(\theta = 2\arctan(1/\varphi)\) → \(\cos^2(\theta/2) = \var Author: Andrew Stewart Caldin, Independent Researcher, UK.
