Abstract
We describe a recently developed generalization of the Poincare sphere method, to represent pure states of a three-level quantum system in a convenient geometrical manner, The construction depends on the properties of the group SU(3) and its generators in the defining representation, and uses geometrical objects and operations in an eight-dimensional real Euclidean space. This construction is then used to develop a generalization of the well known Pancharatnam geometric phase formula, for evolution of a three-level system along a geodesic triangle in state space.
