Abstract The commutation relations of the generalized Pauli operators of a qubit–qutrit system are discussed in the newly established graph-theoretic and finite-geometrical settings. The dual of the Pauli graph of this system is found to be isomorphic to the projective line over the product ring $\mathcal{Z}_{2}\times\mathcal{Z}_{3}$ . A “peculiar” feature in comparison with two-qubits is that two distinct points/operators can be joined by more than one line. The multi-line property is shown… Expand
