Spin and the Stern - Gerlach Experiment
The word “quantum” means a single share or portion. In quantum mechanics, this means that energy comes in discrete chunks, or quanta, rather than a continuous flow. But it also means that particles have other properties that are discrete in a way that’s deeply counterintuitive. Today I want to tell you about one such property, called spin, and the experiment that discovered it: the Stern-Gerlac...
متن کاملStern-Gerlach Experiment and Bohm Limit
Stern-Gerlach experiment is a paradigm of measurement theory in quantum mechanics. Notwithstanding several analysis given in literature, no clear understanding of the apparent collapse has been given so far. Indeed, one can imagine a Stern-Gerlach device where all environmental effects are removed and ask the question on how the measurement goes on. In this letter we will prove that a the Stern...
متن کاملA Stern-Gerlach experiment for slow light
Electromagnetically induced transparency allows for light transmission through dense atomic media by means of quantum interference1. Media exhibiting electromagnetically induced transparency have very interesting properties, such as extremely slow group velocities2-4. Associated with the slow light propagation are quasiparticles, the so-called dark polaritons, which are mixtures of a photonic a...
متن کاملA Quantum Description of the Stern-Gerlach Experiment
A detailed analysis of the classic Stern–Gerlach experiment is presented. An analytical simple solution is presented for the quantum description of the translational and spin dynamics of a silver atom in a magnetic field with a gradient along a single z-direction. This description is then used to obtain an approximate quantum description of the more realistic case with a magnetic field gradient...
متن کاملGeneralized Stern-Gerlach effect for chiral molecules.
The Stern-Gerlach effect is well known as spin-dependent splitting of a beam of atoms with magnetic moments by a magnetic-field gradient. Here, we show that an induced gauge potential may lead to a similar effect for chiral molecules. In the presence of three inhomogeneous light fields, the center of mass of a three-level chiral molecule is subject to an optically induced gauge potential, and t...
