by EITCA Academy
The relationship between angular momentum and the Hamiltonian in the context of Larmor precession can be understood by examining the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics and the behavior of spin systems. Larmor precession refers to the precession of the spin of a particle in the presence of an external magnetic field. This phenomenon is important

The Stern-Gerlach experiment is a fundamental experiment in quantum physics that was first conducted by Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach in 1922. The purpose of this experiment is to demonstrate the quantization of angular momentum and to measure the spin state of particles. In the Stern-Gerlach experiment, a beam of particles, typically silver atoms or
