The curricular material uses the OSP Spins program to show the effect of measurement on an ensemble of spin-1/2 particles. In the virtual experiment, a beam of spin-1/2 particles leaves an oven incident on one or multiple ideal analyzers (ideal Stern-Gerlach apparatus) the result of which is detected as a click on a detector.
Before performing these virtual experiments it is important to first look over the tutorial and the tutorial exercises.
Note: For these exercises, the incident beam contains particles with randomly oriented spin orientations incident on three ideal Stern-Gerlach analyzers. All three of the analyzers can be changed by clicking on them (blue).
