Finds the complex ${\rm SU}(2)$ representation of a rotation defined by an ! axis vector $\hat{\bf v}$ and angle $\theta$. The spinor rotation matrix is ! given explicitly by ! $$ R^{1/2}(\hat{\bf v},\theta)=I\cos\frac{\theta}{2} ! -i(\hat{\bf v}\cdot\vec{\sigma})\sin\frac{\theta}{2}. $$ ! ! !REVISION HISTORY: !
