Rotation around a generic axis

In the previous post, we saw how to rotate the density operator with respect to the x, y, and z axes, and we derived simple formulas using Pauli algebra. Building on those results, we can now derive an even more elegant and useful formula for performing rotations around an arbitrary axis. Let's see how!
