Multiple choice
For ρ=[0.750.250.250.25]\rho = \begin{bmatrix}0.75 & 0.25 \\ 0.25 & 0.25\end{bmatrix}, the Bloch vector is rx=2Re(ρ01)r_x = 2\,\mathrm{Re}(\rho_{01}), ry=2Im(ρ01)r_y = -2\,\mathrm{Im}(\rho_{01}), rz=ρ00ρ11r_z = \rho_{00} - \rho_{11}. What is the length r=rx2+ry2+rz2|r| = \sqrt{r_x^2 + r_y^2 + r_z^2}?
