Bloch vector normalizes by the norm instead of the squared norm · case 03

The unnormalized input 3|0> + 4|1> yields a vector of length 5 instead of 1.

Case contract

Input [[ar, ai], [br, bi]] for a|0> + b|1> (possibly unnormalized). Return the Bloch vector [2Re(conj(a) b), 2Im(conj(a) b), |a|^2 - |b|^2] divided by |a|^2 + |b|^2, rounded to 6 decimals, or "zero-state" when the squared norm is below 1e-12.

Why this case matters

Bloch coordinates feed visualizers and single-qubit tomography checks; sign or scale slips put states on the wrong axis.
