Standard parameterization for the CKM Matrix
This file defines the standard parameterization of CKM matrices in terms of four real numbers `θ₁₂`, `θ₁₃`, `θ₂₃` and `δ₁₃`.
We will show that every CKM matrix can be written within this standard parameterization in the file `FlavorPhysics.CKMMatrix.StandardParameters`.

Standard matrix parameterization of the CKM matrix
Given four real parameters , and , this definition constructs the standard parameterization of the Cabibbo–Kobayashi–Maskawa (CKM) matrix as a complex matrix : where , , and denotes the imaginary unit. This matrix represents the mixing between the three generations of quarks in the Standard Model.
The standard CKM matrix parameterization is unitary
For any real parameters , and , the standard CKM matrix , defined by the parameterization: where and , is a unitary matrix. This is expressed by the relation , where denotes the conjugate transpose (Hermitian conjugate) of and is the identity matrix.
