At $t=0$, one particle is in the state $\vert + \rangle$ and the other is in the state $\vert + \rangle _{x}$. \begin{enumerate} \item What state is each particle in at a later time \textit{t}? \vfill \item What is the probability that you would measure $S_x = {\hbar \over 2}$ state at time $t$? Does this probability change with time? \vfill \item What is the probability that you would measure $S_z = {\hbar \over 2}$ at time $t$? Does this probability change with time? \vfill \item Given a Hamiltonian, how would you determine which states are stationary states (states where no probabilities change with time)? Under what circumstances do measurement probabilities change with time? \end{enumerate} \vfill \end{document}
