Observables and Measurements in Quantum Mechanics
physics.mq.edu.aucertainly the situation with the measurement of spin in a Stern-Gerlach experiment. If an atom emerges from one such set of apparatus in a beam that indicates that Sz = 1 2! for that atom, and we were to pass the atom through a second apparatus, also with its magnetic field oriented in the z direction, we would find the atom emerging in the ...
Particle Spin and the Stern-Gerlach Experiment
physics.mq.edu.authe angular momentum due to the motion of each of the infinitesimal masses making up the body. The well known result is that the total angular momentum or spin S is given by S = Iω (6.3) where I is the moment of inertia of the body, and ω is its angular velocity. Spin is a vector which
