Professors pauses, looks at me and says, "You'll figure it out." Later that same semester: I go to the math lab, hoping to get help with a problem. The grad student running the lab looks at the problem and says: "Yeah, no one here will be able to do that."

so, can anyone explain what spin is you know, like the 1/2 stuff and how to visualize it.
@Cannongabang3 жыл бұрын
@believe German K5 Ok i Will try. First of all spin is the result of a famous experiment, the Stern Gerlach one: in their apparatus, briefly put, a beam of energetic electrons (like a laser) goes through a narrow path between magnets (a non-perfectly uniform magnetic field) and the path results split in two paths (up path and down path) at the end of the pathway the electrons took. This baffled scientists. Others eventually could even repeat with a very low flux of electron (imagine one electron per second) and the electron had a 50% of either going up or down. This killed determinism, even from a statistical physics point of view: how could an electron go either up or down? Then the electron must live in a "spin" state which is 50% of the times up and 50% of the times down. Spin up, spin down. How does the electron "decide" whether it goes up or down in the Stern Gerlach apparatus? Well this is the beginning of quantum mechanics. Spin is one of the seeds of quantum mechanics and its postulates! I can suggest some readings like Griffiths introduction to Quantum Mechanics if you would like a very soft intro to QM, or Shankar Principles of quantum mechanics for clear statement of the axioms, or even Introduction to Hilbert Spaces with Applications by Debnath if you want a formal axiomatic introduction to quantum mechanics. Briefly speaking, spin is a quantum "magnetic dipole" property of fundamental particles, and leads it to the quantum interaction with magnetic field. An electron can be both spin up and spin down until a measurement is made (such as stern Gerlach, it blocks the spin to either up or down after the magnetic interaction which counts as a measurement by the environment). Have a great day :)

Here's something funny and from personal experience: When I was learning quantum mechanics in college, it made absolutely no sense to me. But when I took the quantum class in grad school, because they go over the calculus in much more detail (Hence why you need the Dirac notation), everything suddenly became a lot easier to understand.
@StefSubZero2704 жыл бұрын
Im sorry dont you immediatly use dirac notation in your grad class? Because im a 3rd year physics grad and in my QM class we immediatly started going deep with Dirac notation, bloch rapresentation etc... sounds weird to not use diracs notation in QM

The spin question is so true. Also I noticed the 1/137 finestructure constant and then the pi/137 reference to the cgs-system, where you just move multiples of pi from some equations to others, just so that some of the equations in electro-magnetism look a bit easier.
