please do questions g and h... ONLY G AND H The three spin operators for an electron (which is a spin-1/2 particle) are $. - 1 (1 :). $=(: ;), $- (-). Suppose the electron is pinned in space but is subject to a magnetic field B = (0,0,B), so that its Hamiltonian H = -1B-S = - BS.

(2.1) (20 points) A spin 1/2 particle is in an eigenstate of Sy with eigenvalue h/2 at the initial time t = 0. At that time, it is placed in a magnetic induction B = B2, and it is then allowed to precess in that induction for the time T. Then, at that instant T, B is instantaneously rotated from the z to the y direction, becoming B = Bį. After another identical time interval T occurs, a measurement of...
