In this paper we define and give examples of a family of polynomial invariants of virtual knots and links. They arise by considering certain 2$\times$2 matrices with entries in a possibly non-commutative ring, for example the quaternions. These polynomials are sufficiently powerful to distinguish the Kishino knot from any classical knot, including the unknot.
