written by David McIntyre
Spins is an interactive computer program that simulates Stern-Gerlach measurements on spin 1/2 and spin 1 particles.  This software is used as part of the "Paradigms in Physics" curriculum.  This can be used as an example to study general problems in quantum measurement and time dependence.
