Let $A$ be a $2 \times 2$ real matrix with entries from $\{0, 1\}$ and $|A| \neq 0$. Consider the following two statements:
$(P)$ If $A \neq I_{2}$,then $|A| = -1$
$(Q)$ If $|A| = 1$,then $\operatorname{tr}(A) = 2$
where $I_{2}$ denotes the $2 \times 2$ identity matrix and $\operatorname{tr}(A)$ denotes the sum of the diagonal entries of $A$. Then:

If $A = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -\tan(\frac{\theta}{2}) \\ \tan(\frac{\theta}{2}) & 0 \end{bmatrix}$ and $(I_{2} + A)(I_{2} - A)^{-1} = \begin{bmatrix} a & -b \\ b & a \end{bmatrix}$,then $13(a^{2} + b^{2})$ is equal to ...........
