It is known that there is a 36 probability of obtaining Sz
It is known that there is a 36% probability of obtaining Sz = h/2 and therefore a 64% chance of obtaining Sz = h/2 if a measurement of Sz is carried out on a spin-1/2 particle. In addition, it is known that the probability of finding the particle with Sx = h/2, that is in the state |+x), is 50%. Determine the state of the particle as completely as possible from this information.
Solution
Sz with eigen value h/4pie---------36% probaility
Sz with eigen value -h/4pie---------64% probaility
Sx with eigen value h/4pie---------50% probaility
Sxwith eigen value -h/4pie---------50% probaility
Sy has also equal probabaility as that of Sx
Sy with eigen value h/4pie---------50% probaility
Sywith eigen value -h/4pie---------50% probaility
