This activity is an extension of section 1 from Spins lab 2. This activity will give students practice finding unknown states using only the square of the norm of inner products between two states. text/html 2011-07-04T15:17:20-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/portfolioswiki/courses:hw:sphw:sphwprecession?rev=1309817840 Homework problems can be found in the back of the third chapter in the textbook: Appropriate problems are 3.5 through 3.11 and 3.16 text/html 2017-02-13T13:08:59-08:00 http://sites.science.oregonstate.edu/physics/portfolioswiki/courses:hw:sphw:sphwproj?rev=1487020139 Homework for Spins Have students complete the theory section for the third section of Spins Lab 2.

This problem is initially tricky because the state given is not in the basis of the Hamiltonian, requiring a projection onto the Hamiltonian basis. Also, the problem gives little information and requires students to keep everything in general. Oftentimes students will get stuck looking for too much information, when a…
