It is surmised that the algebra of the Pauli operators on the Hilbert space of N -qubits is embodied in the geometry of the symplectic polar space of rank N and order two, W2N−1(2). The operators (discarding the identity) answer to the points of W2N−1(2), their partitionings into maximally commuting subsets correspond to spreads of the space, a maximally commuting subset has its representative ...
