Abstract
It is important to be able to describe polarization observables in rotated coordinate systems. Typical applications are: Spin precession in magnetic fields, deflection of polarized particle beams by optical elements, nuclear reactions, double scattering and polarization transfer. We start with the rotation of the density matrix \(\rho.\)
