✦ Synopsis

Spin bases of relevance for quantum systems with cyclic symmetry as well as for quantum information and quantum computation are constructed from angular momentum and Lie algebraic methods. This approach is connected to the use of generalized Pauli matrices (in dimension d) arising from a polar decomposition of the group SUð2Þ. Such a decomposition leads to a Weyl pair which can be used as an integrity basis for constructing a generalized Pauli group and the Lie algebra of the unitary group UðdÞ. The case where d is a prime integer yields a maximal set of d þ 1 mutually unbiased bases. Numerous examples are given for d ¼ 2; 3 and 4.

The effects of the acquisition of angular momentum on the expansion of homogeneous, ellipsoidal density perturbations is investigated by generalizing the theory of previous papers of this series, where spin grows to the first order in overdensity. A small difference is found to be between the two ca
