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...
