Spin 1/2 rotation and informetry

In summary, the conversation discusses how to relate the magnetic field to rotations and the length of the area. The solution involves using the initial wavevector and the hamiltonian for a spin in a magnetic field to determine the time evolution of the particle. The time the particle spends in the magnetic field can also be calculated based on its velocity.

Here is the problem:

How can relate the magnetic field and the rotations and then the length of the area? I only know that 2pi rotation give the initial state a pi phase but that's all.
where the hell I get the length from?

thanks

This is just a time evolution problem. You know the initial wavevector will evolve in time according to:

[tex]|\psi(t)\rangle = \exp(\frac{-iHt}{\hbar})|\psi(0)\rangle[/tex]

Use the hamiltonian for a spin in a magnetic field. It will look very similar to the rotation generator. Also you know the time the particle is in the magnetic field knowing its velocity.
