Abstract

Following the construction of tensor product spaces of quaternion Hilbert modules in our previous paper, we define the analogue of a ray (in a complex quantum mechanics) and the corresponding projection operator, and through these the notion of a state and density operators. We find that there is a one-to-one correspondence between a state and an equivalence class of vectors from the tensor product space, which gives us another method to define the gauge transformations.
