Thank you very much for your answers; although I release now that I had my angles wrong in my question anyway and they should have said 180 and 90 respectively.
I was expecting as much, from further reading it explains the smooth transition. the question is would the smooth transition be over 90 degrees (0% to 100% then back to 0%) or would it be over 45 degrees in the above set up?
Does the book contain the direct answer or will I have to infer it...
Thanks for your response,
So if I understand you correctly, an electron can have spin in more than one axis at the same time, but not a degree of spin and not that we could ever hope to measure both spins in a meaningful way.
So...

Really simple question:
In the Stern Gerlach experiment they construct an electron spin filter with magnets:

I'm not sure what would happen if you used the first set of magnets to split a beam of...
Are there any good atom simulators where kids can bash some atoms around on screen using all the measured real world numbers, so bringing reactive elements together would create compounds but something that wasn't staged or pre-animated. something with more of a constructive 'do-anything' on the...
Was thinking 'can't have conflicting super positions which would cause a super position of the super position colapsing' but the word guess floated around in my mind looking for somthing to attach to.
about deterministic systems and disproving the schrodinger's cat theory.
if your system state is determined by a quantum wave function then the theory states that your wave function collapses as soon as it is observed... if you set up your system so that after a set time period based on the...
