There is an angular momentum system with the state function ❙Ψ❭ = 2͟ ❙1 1❭ + ι 3͟ ❙1 0❭ - 4͟ ❙1 -1❭ √29 √29 √29 In general the eigenvalue equation for the L̂𝓏 operator is L̂𝓏❙l m❭ = m ħ❙l m❭, where m ħ are the possible measurements. The possible measurements of this system, then, are, for m = {-1, 0, 1}: -ħ, 0, ħ. The probability for is given by │❬1 m′❙Ψ❭│², with m′ = {-1, 0, 1}.

The L̂𝓍 operator produces the same measurements, but the matrix representation of the L̂𝓍 operator must be applied. It is L̂𝓍 ≐ ħ͟ ⎛ 0 1 0 ⎞ √2 ⎜ 1 0 1 ⎟ ⎝ 0 1 0 ⎠.
