Homework Statement
If an electron is in an eigen state with eigen vector :
[1]
[0]
what are the expectation values of the operators [tex]S_{x}, and S_{z}[/tex]
Interpret answer in terms of the Stern-Gerlach experiment.
The Attempt at a Solution
Im not too sure how to calculate the expectation value of the spin operators. Do you get rid off the integral in this case, when I did this I got :
[0]
[-1] ħ/2
Thanks.
