  • $\begingroup$ @HenrikSchumacher Thank! So I need to use ArrayFlatten directly? Why doesn't it work for TableForm? $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ TableForm like all other commands ending on Form such MatrixForm are just for displaying purposes. Do not use them in computations. $\endgroup$

KroneckerProduct[PauliMatrix[1], IdentityMatrix[2]]
MatrixForm@%

{{0, 0, 1, 0}, {0, 0, 0, 1}, {1, 0, 0, 0}, {0, 1, 0, 0}}

$\left( \begin{array}{cccc} 0 & 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 \\ \end{array} \right)$
