Unknown Analyzer Exercises

~~1. Determine the polarization of the unknown analyzer.  

 

~~2. What basis, state, and outcome did you use to determine this? 

 

~~3. Write the state you used in terms of the eigenstates of |z+> and |z−>.  Check to see that this state in the z basis yields the same outcome described in question 2.

Repeat this analysis for the remaining analyzers.
