Precession of a Spin-1/2 Particle in a Constant Magnetic Field
==============================================================
Find Hamiltoninan (pic)
Find eigenstates of the Hamiltonian (pic)
Find time-progression expression
Û(t) = exp(-ι Ĥ t/ħ) = exp(-ι ωₒt S𝓏/ħ) = exp(-ι θ S𝓏/ħ)
Û(t) = R̂(σk̂)
⸜ ⸝
Rotational Operator
So for arbitrary t (pic)
Projection along 𝓏-axis? <+𝓏|Ψ(t)>
--->Why for (-x)-axis does this turn out to be sin²(ω₀ t/2)
Hw->Find projection of 𝓎-axis
