Express the situation as a system of two equations in two variables. Be sure to state clearly the meaning of your x- and y-variables. Solve the system by row-reducing the corresponding augmented matrix. State your final answer in terms of the original question.

1. (30 points). Coupled spins. Spin-1/2 particles A and B evolve under the influence of the following Hamiltonian (for simplicity takeh-1 so that energies are expressed in frequency units): We work in the uncoupled basis aba) Ib), where a,b E 0,1 and where states 0) (1)) correspond to single spins aligned (antialigned) with the z-direction.
