(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...
