QM on Thu. Jan. 10

I might be late to QM on Thu. Jan. 10.

If I am not to class by our start time at 9:30, please form into workshop groups and work on this week’s QM homework together.

Please remember to begin by checking in with each other and establishing community agreements.

When I arrive, we will finish our discussion on calculating ΔSz, and then we’ll go over Problem 1.3.

QM Problem Set #1

QM PS#1 (Townsend): 1.8, 1.9, 1.10, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13, 1.14, 1.15

Notes:

  • You need the results of Problem 1.10 for 1.11 and 1.12. You can check your results for <Sz> and <Sy> as directed in the problem statement. You should find that <Sx> = 0.
  • Problems 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, and 1.7 will be assigned as part of QM PS#2, so after completing this week’s set, you may choose to begin on those problems. We will complete Problem 1.3 together during class on Thu. Jan. 10; Problems 1.4-1.7 are based on Problem 1.3.
