Journal Article Detail Page

written by Daniel Schroeder and Thomas A. Moore

This article describes an interactive computer program ithat simulates Stern–Gerlach measurements on spin-1/2 and spin-1 particles. The user can design and run experiments involving successive spin measurements, illustrating incompatible observables, interference, and time evolution.
