# Fermions (Majorana Jordan-Wigner mapping)

Majorana-fermion → qubit (Jordan-Wigner) mapping, one qubit per two
Majorana modes: `chi_{2j-1} = (prod_{k<j} Z_k) X_j`,
`chi_{2j} = (prod_{k<j} Z_k) Y_j`. Each `chi_i` is Hermitian and unit-
normalized (`chi_i^2 = I`), and the anticommutation relation
`{chi_a, chi_b} = 2*delta_ab*I` holds exactly — verified against the
actual matrices, not assumed from the textbook formula alone.

Combine the returned Pauli term with
[`pauli_hamiltonian_to_matrix`](observables.md) to build any
Majorana-operator Hamiltonian as a dense matrix, e.g. a sparse
Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model: `H = sum_{ijkl} J_ijkl * chi_i*chi_j*chi_k*chi_l`.
