Abstract:
Given a remarkable representation of the generalized Pauli operators of two-qubits in terms of the points of the
generalized quadrangle of order two, $W(2)$, it is shown that specific subsets of these operators can also be associated with the points and lines of the four-dimensional projective space over the Galois field with two elements – the so-called Veldkamp space of $W(2)$. An intriguing novelty is the recognition of (uni- and tri-centric) triads and specific pentads of the Pauli operators in addition to the "classical" subsets
answering to geometric hyperplanes of $W(2)$.
Keywords:generalized quadrangles; Veldkamp spaces; Pauli operators of two-qubits.
