Abstract

The forms of the generalized quantities that we have recently introduced are dependent on the phase of the probability amplitudes for spin-projection measurements. In this paper, we show explicitly that changing the phase gives different forms for both the spin vectors and spin operators. Therefore, there are as many forms of these quantities as there are different choices of phase.
