Spinor

In geometry and physics, spinors (pronounced "spinner"; /spɪnər/) are elements of a complex vector space that can be associated with Euclidean space. Spinors can be thought of as companion geometric objects to Euclidean space that, like Euclidean vectors, respond when the Euclidean space is subjected to a rotation. A spinor transforms linearly when the…
