How to calculate all the square roots of a matrix?

I have a matrix [5/8 3/8; 3/8 5/8] and it has more than one square root. If I perform sqrtm on it, it returns only one square root. How do I obtain all of its square roots?

x = sym('x', [2 2]);
xsq = x^2;
sol = solve(xsq == [5/8 3/8; 3/8 5/8]);
all_roots = arrayfun(@(x11, x12, x21, x22) [x11,x12;x21,x22], sol.x1_1, sol.x1_2, sol.x2_1, sol.x2_2, 'uniform', 0);

T = sqrt(sym(2)); U = [-1/T -1/T;-1/T/2 1/T/2] double(U) %verify that U is the matrix you are talking about U^2
The result is
[ 3/4, 1/4]
[ 1/8, 3/8]
which is not your original matrix, so the matrix you indicate is not a square root of the original matrix.
