Matrix maths within an elementwise calculation.

Hi all, So my problem is I want to create two matrices for example

 M1 = [a b

       c d]

 M2 = [e f

       g h]

and all the elements are 2-component spinors e.g.

 a = [s p].

Then I want to perform an elementwise calculation of the matrices (I understand .*) but need to apply matrix multiplication between the elements. So I want the following result matrix;

 [a.e b.f

 c.g d.h].

(More specifically there will be a transformation in between such that I actually want a*^T.[0 1;1 0].e, but I don't this this will change the solution. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

For multiplication you have to use M1.*M2...and for the other part you have to be bit more clear...

the second part is the difficulty I am having. Each element of the original matrices I need to be 2x1 matrices themselves. When they multiply it needs to be by standard matrix algebra not elementwise.
