Im having trouble with my thought process for spin states of a system of two electrons
Using Total Spin 'S' and Total spin mag quantum numbers 'MS' as state ket |S MS>
My textbook states...
" Three Symmetric Spin states
Triplet spin stats for twin identical spin -1/2 particles
" One Antisymmetric spin state
Singlet spin state for two identical spin-1/2 particles
Using Total Spin 'S' and Total spin mag quantum numbers 'MS' as state ket |S MS>
My textbook states...
" Three Symmetric Spin states
Triplet spin stats for twin identical spin -1/2 particles
- | Up Up> = |S MS> = |1, 1> "
- " 1/√2 ( |Up Down> + |Down Up> ) = |1,0> "
- " | Up Up> = |S MS> = |1, -1> "
" One Antisymmetric spin state
Singlet spin state for two identical spin-1/2 particles
- 1/√2 ( |Up Down> - |Down Up> ) = |0,0> "
