The Pauli matrices are a set of three matrices which are Hermitian and unitary.

They are commonly used for representing the spin operator for a spin-½ particle. Since Hermitian operators represent observables in quantum mechanics, the Pauli matrices span the space of observables of the complex 2-dimensional Hilbert space.
