3 Angular Momentum and Spherical Harmonics For a quantum mechanical system that is able to rotate in 3D, one can always define a set of angular momentum operators J. Jy, J., often collectively written as a vector J. They must satisfy the commutation relations (, ] = ihſ, , Îu] = ihſ, J., ſu] = ihỈy. (1) In a more condensed notation, we may write [1,1]] = Žiheikh, i, j= 1,2,3 k=1 Here we've used the Levi-Civita symbol, defined as...
