Encyclopedia of Gamma Matrix Representations?

Hello, I was just curious if anyone knew of a single place with a list of many different gamma matrix representations, I haven't been able to find what I want by just searching google. In particular, I'm looking for a representation of the 5+1 dimensional Clifford algera. In other dimensions it's possible to choose a representation where C=γ_0, and I was wondering if this is possible for the 5+1 dimensional case I'm working with, as it would make my algebra much easier.

Thanks!

You want a Majorana representation, right? Is http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/daviesr/resources/notes/spinors.pdf any help?
 
Thanks, it doesn't answer my specific question, but the representation they give is a little nicer than the one I was working with anyways for my purposes. I appreciate it!

Thread 'Quantum behaviour of an electron around a positively charged sphere'

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!

Thread 'Does a qubit break interference in the double slit experiment?'

According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
