It looks like you're trying to find the quaternion that performs a particular spatial rotation. Is that correct?

The rotation about unit vector $u_xmathbf{i}+u_ymathbf{j}+u_zmathbf{k}$ through an angle $theta$ corresponds to the quaternion $mathbf{q}=cos(theta/2)+(u_xmathbf{i}+u_ymathbf{j}+u_zmathbf{k}),sin(theta/2)$.

I'd like to find a quaternion that rotates q1 so it matches q2. The actual problem I was trying to solve is in this thread: math.stackexchange.com/questions/3087370/…
