The behavior of a spin-
particle in a uniform magnetic field in the z-direction,
, with the Hamiltonian
You found that the expectation value of the spin vector
undergoes Larmor precession about the z axis. In this sense, we can
view it as an analogue to a rotating coin, choosing the
eigenstate with eigenvalue
to represent heads and the eigenstate with eigenvalue
to represent tails. Under time-evolution in the magnetic field,
these eigenstates will “rotate” between each other.
(a) Suppose...
