Spin N systems (Lecture, 10 minutes)
spins_unit_sg_experiment.ppt Pages 26-27
- Show how the formalism can be extended to systems with more than 2 outcomes
- Discuss how to write orthonormality, completeness, and conjugation
- Bring in real-world examples of discrete quantum systems: 2-level, small-N level, and large-N/infinite-N systems. Use this as an opportunity to preview what they will see in the next paradigm course, as well as to emphasize that this is a consistent formalism generalizable for any quantum system.
