reestablish fundamental brakets
spin Z operators
raising/lowering operators (lowering erased before pic)
commutations relations (erased before pic)
Now setup a two-spin system
(pic) Look at general operator expressions ?? in different spaces ??
Take direct product of A and B
(pic) Developed 𝐒 using raising lowering operators
(pic: last y should be an x) Proved this.
(pic x2) Still missing a 1/2 somewhere! But moving on to see proper solutions of direct product.
Eigenvalues are
𝐒² = ħ² S(S+1) = ⎧ 2ħ²
⎩ 0ħ²
𝐒 = ⎧ 1 (3 eigenstates)
⎩ 0 (1 eigenstate)
(pic) Plugging back to direct product matrix
(pic) FOUND PROBLEM of -1/2 from the up/down raising/lowering operator interactions
(pic) finished diagonalizing operator product
