Abstract: In this paper we study the problem of finding explicit expressions for inner products on the space of complex square matrices $Mn$. We show that, given an inner product $lipcdot,cdotip$ on $Mn$, with some conditions, there exist positive matrices $A_j$ and $B_{j}inMn$, for $j=1,2dots,m$ such that ${\displaystyle }$ lip X, Y ip = sum_{j=1}^m rleft(Y^* A_j X B_j ight), ${\displaystyle }$ for all $X,YinMn$. However, we show that the result does not hold for all inner products. In fact, if the above expression does not hold, we show that there exist positive matrices $A_j$ and $B_{j}inMn$, for $j=1,2dots,m$ such that ${\displaystyle }$ lip X, Y ip = - rleft(Y^* A_1 X B_1 ight)+ sum_{j=2}^m rleft(Y^* A_j X B_j ight), ${\displaystyle }$ for all $X,YinMn$.
