Noone has found one which works. Besides, the Lie algebra of SU(2) is pretty much as simple as it gets, without being trivial, which is the U(1) Lie algebra, in that [A,B]=0, which is another way of saying A*B = B*A. In matrices this usually isn't true.
You have assumed something you can't do in general. You've assumed that X*Z = -Z*X. That's only true for Grassman algebras.
No. When I wrote [X_a,X_b] = 2i e_abc X_c it means that if you have a triple of matrices, A, B and C, then you have the following results :
Any set of 3 matrices which satisfy this will be equivalent to the Pauli matrices. Infact, they are the Pauli matrices in a particular choice of bases.

[A,B] = 2iC
[B,C] = 2iA
[C,A] = 2iB
Does this means
[X,Y] = 2iZ
[Y,Z] = 2iX
[Z,X] = 2iY
?
Then
XY-YX=iZ-(-iZ)=2iZ;
YZ-ZY=iX-(-iX)=2iX;
ZX-XZ=iY-(-iY)=2iY.
So this is simple matrices multiplication and minusation tricks, but what this all teling about some quantum fields or spin properties or whatever?
How pauli matrices dealing with electroweak teory?
I know that there is some rotation properties about x, y and z axis, but I am don't sure with what it's realate with pauli matrices or bloch sphere?
For example rotation about z axis is this:
for |0> rotation about z axis is (cosA-isinA)|0>. For |1> rotation about z axis = (cosA+isinA)|1>. So rotation for |0> and |1> about z axis is very simple, becouse rotating only phase. And need rotate 720 degrees to go back, becouse rotation 180 degrees is/means rotation 90 degrees.
Next, rotation about y axis is much more complicated:
There also if you rotating 360 degrees it's means, that you rotate 180 degrees, but you also need imagine, that |0> or |1> is on oposite sides so they becoming changing after you rotate normal angle... So rotation about y axis rule is that: say there is |0> state, then rotating about y axis 90 degrees, you acctualy rotating 45 degrees and becoming superposition: 0.707|0>+0.707|1>. After rotating one more time 90 degrees it's rotates 45 degree and becoming |1>. If you farther rotating 90 degrees it's rotates one more time 45 degrees and at all from initial point it's rotates 135 degrees and becoming -0.707|0>+0.707|1>. If you one more time rotating about y axis then it's means 180 degrees and becoming -|0>. If you farther rotating the same angle then it would be -0.707|0>-0.707|1> and if you rotating one more time the same angle it would be -|1>. If you one more time rotating the same angle then it would be 0.707|0>-0.707|1>. And if you one more time rotating the same angle it would be initial state |0>. For one rotation is backfoward. Matrix rotating about y axis looks:
Ry(A)=
[cos(A/2) -sin(A/2)]
[sin(A/2) cos(A/2)],
where 0<A<720.
http://jquantum.sourceforge.net/jQuantumApplet.html (need chose x-register "1" and cklick on symbol Rz to check how rotate about each axis).
Rotation about x axis matrix is:
Rx(A)=
[cos(A/2) -isin(A/2)]
[-isin(A/2) cos(A/2)]
where 0<A<720.
Rotation about z axis:
Rz(A)=
[cos(A/2)-isin(A/2) 0]
[0 cos(A/2)+isin(A/2)]
where 0<A<720.

NO. I told you, XY is NOT -YX. If it was, they'd not need to use commutators!
XY and YX can be two

Because the spin operators in quantum mechanics S_1, S_2 and S_3 have
EXACTLY the same properties,
[S_1,S_2] = 2i S_3
[S_3,S_1] = 2i S_2
[S_2,S_3] = 2i S_1
Therefore they have a representation within the Pauli matrices. Dear god, read a book!

SU(2), whose Lie algebra the Pauli matrices are the generators of, is the gauge group in electroweak theory.
I'd bother to explain what that means if I thought you weren't going to just ignore it anyway.
The rest of your post is your usual incoherent rambling. Why don't you stop trying to learn physics from Wikipedia and read a book. I know contact with textbooks makes your skin burn, like all nutty cranks, but at least try.

So if [X,Y]= XY-YX, then that's is all I want to know. It's seems that you missleading yourself. Why XY-YX=2iZ is not equal for pauli matrices?
I think you only understand algebra of pauli matrices and nothing understand how they realate in physical world with spin or electrweak teory.

"This procedure is sensitive to temperature. It turns out that the total signal that can be obtained this way decreases exponentially with the number of qubits. This problem can be alleviated by cooling the sample. Yet, there is a limit on the total number of qubits that even a super-cooled NMR computer can work with effectively."
http://beige.ucs.indiana.edu/M743/node82.htmlSo you still don't enough sugestions, that only D-wave quantum computer is pseudosuper good?
If you think that hypercomputer and quantum computer is the same thing then you are wrong! Hypercomputer can do somthing better but to him need more energy. For dwave quantum computer also need very much energy to cool down they superconductor based pseudoquantumhypercomputer. So nothing faster than hypercomputer now don't exist even in teory with such huge energy consumption! 28 qubits is very small number for such huge energy consumpotion. So you are looser becouse quantum computer now exist in best case only like hypercomputer
To me don't need any dirac and over matrices to understood, becouse it's just reletivized shmidized pauli matrices.
I think pauli matrices can be 3 magnetic field in 3D space. X matrix is say from left; Y pauli matrix say is rotated from X pauli matrix 90 degrees counterclockwise, so Y matrix is magnetic field from y axis (don't know ho explain). And Z matrix is from top and Z pauli matrix is magnetic field from top. And spin is in center (0; 0; 0). X magnetic field is (1; 0; 0). Y magnetic field is (0; 1; 0). And Z magnetic field is (0; 0; 1). How you think does it's possible that pauli matrices can be in physical world 3 magnetic field for 3 axis in 3D?
About quantum computer nobody don't have proves that it's imposible, but it's clear like imposible nuclear fusion. Becouse for nuclear fusion need very hight temerature (1000000 kelvins). Such temperature possible do only with big electric potencials diferent and fire between those potencials and this calling plasma. But such plasma will burn everything around so nothing can hold this plasma except magnetic field, which holding somehow electrons or protons, but those particles escaping and more nothing holding this plasma. Anyway magnetic field must be aslo very near and at hight temperature. So need very strong magnetic field and over nonsenses... So quantum computer is like nuclear fusion. Nobody can't prove that it's uneffective, but all experiments showing that this is imposible.

Nuclear fussion energy can't be proved that it's wrong (or maybe nobody want to prove), becouse it's to difficult for human brain to compare all plus and minus and made conclusion that nuclear fusion energy never would be effecient. Need hundreds of milions degrees C for effiecent nuclear fusion controled reactions. Everything around such reactor would become nothing and dust. And if you wanna hold spins say of this nuclear fusion with magnetic field on top then it's still need veryu far hold this magnetic field and then it's would be very unefiecent, becouse would need very much energy to generate very strong magnetic field and this energy would be equal energy of nuclear fusion reaction. And I even can't imagine how to control such reaction safty, becouse nothing can't absorb energy to control, becouse it's very hot. Two diferent temperatures isn't friendly...
And even if nuclear fusion would be doen it's still will be dengerouse for workers inside such reactor and station, becouse it's can explode.
So then maybe Pauli matrix X is magnetic field on left and pauli matrix Z is magnetic field on top? And pauli matrix Y means nothing, but except XZ=iY? Just for simplicity that to don't write XZ, you writeing iY and it's means bit and phase flip? And them spin can be randomly in magnetic field or another variant that spin aligned to X magnetic field.
But still nobody can't prove that pauli matrices exist if electron don't moving. Becouse about pauli matrix is I think can be evidence that possible made bit flip, so pauli X matrix may exist!
And here DavidD uncertainty principle. Two entangled electron can't have more states than 2. For example electrons can be in state 0.707|00>+0.707|1>, but can't be in state 0.5|00>+0.5|01>-0.5|10>+0.5|11>. Where 0.707^2+0.707^2=1 and 0.5^2+0.5^2+0.5^2+0.5^2=1.
