State vectors¶
Time to do the same experiment lots of times and get different results

Sed sagittis eleifend rutrum. Donec vitae suscipit est. Nullam tempus tellus non sem sollicitudin, quis rutrum leo facilisis.
Conclusions¶
Exercises¶
Preliminary provocations¶
- Why use an inhomogeneous magnetic field?
- Why is the experiment done with silver atoms?

more accurately, at this time it was the Bohr-Sommerfeld model, which is an extension of the Bohr model to include elliptical orbits which fixed some problems. One will also see in solid-state physics that Sommerfeld has a real talent for tweaking existing theories to make them run a bit better. ↩

A study of the the relativistic wave equation, known as the Dirac equation, is required to fully flesh out this result. ↩

In this case we can, but more generally, the magnetic moment of the nucleus cannot be ignored (see LINK ME! hyperfine splitting) ↩
