May 22, 2020 at 17:26	comment	added	alesia		@AbdelmalekAbdesselam that's correct, sorry for the bad phrasing

May 22, 2020 at 17:23	comment	added	Abdelmalek Abdesselam		@NikWeaver: I think the question is basically how far away $M$ is from the space of polynomials in the $O_i$.

May 22, 2020 at 17:10	comment	added	alesia		@NikWeaver that's correct sorry. I meant the ring they generate is a complete set of commuting observables
May 22, 2020 at 17:00	comment	added	Nik Weaver		(Unless you mean something different than I do by a "complete" set.)
May 22, 2020 at 16:58	comment	added	Nik Weaver		The $O_i$ are not a complete set of commuting observables --- there aren't enough. The dimension of $H$ is $2^n$ not $n$.
