Abstract: We review the properties of the Kronecker (direct, or tensor) product of square matrices AotimesBotimesCcdots in terms of Hubbard operators. In its simplest form, a Hubbard operator Xni,j can be expressed as the n-square matrix which has entry 1 in position (i,j) and zero in all other entries. The algebra and group properties of the observables that define a multipartite quantum system are notably straightforward in such a framework. In particular, we use the Kronecker product in Hubbard notation to get the Clebsch-Gordan decomposition of the product group SU(2)imesSU(2). Finally, the n-dimensional irreducible representations so obtained are used to derive closed forms of the Clebsch-Gordan coefficients that rule the addition of angular momenta. Our results can be further developed in many different directions.
