The eigenvalues of the Pauli spin matrix Sigma sub Z, when measuring spin along the z-axis, can be determined by solving the eigenvalue equation for this matrix. The Pauli spin matrices are a set of three 2×2 matrices commonly used in quantum mechanics to describe the spin of particles. The Sigma sub Z matrix represents
