Can anyone help me understand the QFI derivation being done in Appendix C of this paper? The density matrix $\rho = \frac12(|\psi_1\rangle\langle\psi_1|+|\psi_2\rangle\langle\psi_2|)$. I understand that $|\psi_1\rangle$ and $\psi_2\rangle$ are non-orthogonal states so they find eigenvectors that are orthogonal and span the derivatives of $\rho$ to properly calculate the SLD (Symmetric Logarithmic derivative). But density matrix is a $2\times2$ matrix so how am I getting four eigenstates? I am not sure how they are deriving QFI and especially $|e_1\rangle,|e_2\rangle,|e_3\rangle$, and $|e_4\rangle$.
