In [[quantum mechanics]], [[spin (physics)|spin]] is an intrinsic property of all [[elementary particle]]s. [[Fermions]], the particles that constitute ordinary matter, have [[half-integer spin]]. ''Spin-½'' particles constitute an important subset of such fermions.  All known elementary fermions have a spin of ½.<ref name="Atoms, Molecules 1985">Quantum Physics of Atoms, Molecules, Solids, Nuclei and Particles (2nd Edition), R.

Particles having net spin ½ include the [[proton]], [[neutron]], [[electron]], [[neutrino]], and [[quarks]]. The dynamics of spin-½ objects cannot be accurately described using [[classical physics]]; they are among the simplest systems which require [[quantum mechanics]] to describe them.  As such, the study of the behavior of spin-½ systems forms a central part of [[quantum mechanics]].
 
A spin-½ particle is characterized by an [[angular momentum quantum number]] for spin '''s''' of 1/2.  In solutions of the [[Schrödinger equation]], angular momentum is quantized according to this number, so that total spin angular momentum
 
:<math>S = {{\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{1}{2}+1\right)}}}\ \hbar = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\hbar .</math>
 
However, the observed [[fine structure]] when the electron is observed along one axis, such as the Z-axis, is quantized in terms of a [[magnetic quantum number]], which can be viewed as a quantization of a [[vector component]] of this total angular momentum, which can have only the values of ±½ħ.
 
Note that these values for angular momentum are functions only of the [[reduced Planck constant]] (the angular momentum of any [[photon]]), with no dependence on mass or charge.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/spin.html#c3|title=Electron Spin|author=C.R. Nave|publisher=Georgia State University|year=2005}} and internal links from the first section therein.</ref>
 
== Stern–Gerlach experiment ==
 
The necessity of introducing half-integral [[spin (physics)|spin]] goes back experimentally to the results of the [[Stern–Gerlach experiment]]. A beam of atoms is run through a strong heterogeneous magnetic field, which then splits into N parts depending on the intrinsic angular momentum of the atoms. It was found that for silver atoms, the beam was split in two—the ground state therefore could not be integral, because even if the intrinsic angular momentum of the atoms were as small as possible, 1, the beam would be split into 3 parts, corresponding to atoms with L<sub>z</sub> = −1, 0, and +1. The conclusion was that silver atoms had net intrinsic angular momentum of {{frac|1|2}}.<ref name="Atoms, Molecules 1985"/>
 
== General properties ==
 
Spin-½ objects are all [[fermions]] (a fact explained by the [[spin statistics theorem]]) and satisfy the [[Pauli exclusion principle]].  Spin-½ particles can have a permanent [[magnetic moment]] along the direction of their spin, and this magnetic moment gives rise to [[electromagnetism|electromagnetic]] interactions that depend on the spin.  One such effect that was important in the discovery of spin is the [[Zeeman effect]], the splitting of a spectral line into several components in the presence of a static magnetic field.
 
Unlike in more complicated quantum mechanical systems, the spin of a spin-½ particle can be expressed as a [[linear combination]] of just two [[eigenvectors|eigenstates]], or [[eigenspinor]]s. These are traditionally labeled spin up and spin down.  Because of this the quantum mechanical spin [[Operator (physics)|operators]] can be represented as simple 2 × 2 matrices.  These matrices are called the [[Pauli matrices]].
 
[[Creation and annihilation operators]] can be constructed for spin-½ objects; these obey the same [[commutator|commutation]] relations as other [[angular momentum operator]]s.
 
== Connection to the uncertainty principle ==
 
One consequence of the [[uncertainty principle|generalized uncertainty principle]] is that the spin projection operators (which measure the spin along a given direction like ''x'', ''y'', or ''z''), cannot be measured simultaneously. Physically, this means that it is ill defined what axis a particle is spinning about.  A measurement of the ''z''-component of spin destroys any information about the ''x'' and ''y'' components that might previously have been obtained.

{{Tone|section|date=July 2010}}
 
Mathematically, quantum mechanical spin is not described by a [[Vector (geometry)|vector]] as in classical angular momentum. It is described by a complex-valued vector with two components called a spinor. There are subtle differences between the behavior of spinors and vectors under [[coordinate rotation]]s, stemming from the behavior of a vector space over a complex field.
 
When a spinor is rotated by 360 degrees (one full turn), it becomes negative, then after a further rotation 360 degrees becomes positive again. This comes about because in quantum theory the state of a particle or system is represented by a complex [[probability amplitude]] ([[wavefunction]]) Ψ, and when the system is measured; the probability of finding the system in the state Ψ equals |Ψ|<sup>2</sup> = Ψ*Ψ, the square of [[absolute value]] of the amplitude.
 
Suppose a detector, that can be rotated, measures a particle, in which the probabilities of detecting some state are affected by the rotation of the detector. When the system is rotated through 360 degrees the observed output and physics are the same as initially but the amplitudes are changed for a spin-½ particle by a factor of [[−1]] or a phase shift of half of 360 degrees. When the probabilities are calculated the −1 is squared; (−1)<sup>2</sup> = 1, so the predicted physics is same as in the starting position. Also in a spin-½ particle there are only two spin states and the amplitudes for both change by the same −1 factor so the interference effects are identical, unlike the case for higher spins. The complex probability amplitudes are something of a theoretical construct and cannot be directly observed.
 
If the probability amplitudes rotated by the same amount as the detector, then they would have changed by a factor of −1 when the equipment was rotated by 180 degrees, which when squared would predict the same output as at the start but this is wrong experimentally. If the detector is rotated by 180 degrees, the result with spin-½ particles can be different to what it would be if not rotated, hence the factor of a half is necessary to make the predictions of the theory match experiment.

===NRQM (Non-relativistic quantum mechanics)===
The [[quantum state]] of a spin-½ particle can be described by a complex-valued vector with two components called a  [[spinor]]. Observable states of the particle are then found by the spin-operators, ''S<sub>x</sub>'', ''S<sub>y</sub>'', and ''S<sub>z</sub>,'' and the total spin operator, '''S'''.
 
====Observables====
When spinors are used to describe the quantum states, the three spin operators (''S<sub>x</sub>'', ''S<sub>y</sub>'', ''S<sub>z</sub>,'') can described by 2x2 matrices called the Pauli matrices whose [[eigenvalue]]s are ±{{frac2|ħ|2}}.
 
For example, the spin projection operator ''S<sub>z</sub>'' affects a measurement of the spin in the ''z'' direction.
:<math> S_z = \frac{\hbar}{2} \sigma _z  = \frac{\hbar}{2}  \begin{bmatrix}
1&0\\ 0&-1 \end{bmatrix} </math>
 
The two eigenvalues of ''S<sub>z</sub>'' , ±{{frac2|ħ|2}}, then correspond to the following eigenvectors:
 
:<math> \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix} = \left \vert {s_z = +\textstyle\frac 1 2} \right \rang = | {\uparrow  } \rang = | 0 \rang </math>
:<math> \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ 1 \end{bmatrix} = \left \vert {s_z = -\textstyle\frac 1 2} \right \rang = | {\downarrow} \rang = | 1 \rang. </math>
 
These vectors form a complete basis for the [[Hilbert space]] describing the spin-½ particle.  Thus, linear combinations of these two states can represent all possible states of the spin, including in the x and y directions.
 
===RQM (relativistic )===
While NRQM defines spin-½ with 2 dimensions in Hilbert space with dynamics that are described in 3 dimensional space and time, RQM define the spin with 4 dimensions in Hilbert space and dynamics described by 4 dimensional space-time.

28 year-old Painting Investments Worker Truman from Regina, usually spends time with pastimes for instance interior design, property developers in new launch ec Singapore and writing. Last month just traveled to City of the Renaissance.

In case you look at the checklist of the Forbes 40 richest folks in Singapore, you will notice many who made their fortunes growing and investing in real estate. Or simply look around you – the average Singaporean's wealth in all probability comes more from the appreciation of his HDB flat or non-public property than from another asset.

As my husband and I are also Singapore PR, we plan to take our criticism to our MP as properly, hopefully the government will turn into conscious of this drawback or perhaps they knew about it already, but it is time to take some action to right this lengthy standing grievance among patrons, and even amongst brokers who acquired shunned out from offers like my poor agent. She misplaced a sale for certain and unbeknownst to her, she in all probability never had an opportunity with that property proper from the start! I feel sorry for her, and appreciated her effort in alerting us about this unit and attempting to get us the property; but I'm a bit of aggravated or perhaps a bit resentful that we lost that condo basically as a result of we had been attached to her or any co-broke agent?

A very powerful part of the process of finding and securing housing is finding a superb estate agent, which is greatest achieved by word of mouth. As soon as expats have managed this feat, what follows is significantly less complicated and less annoying. Steps to renting property in Singapore We've got collected a cross-section of the most effective property resources and repair providers, multi function simple-to-use location, to additional streamline your property purchase or sale.

ECG Property Pte. Ltd.

Have passed an industry examination i.e Common Examination for House Agents (CEHA) or Actual Estate Company (REA) exam, or equal; Exclusive agents are extra willing to share listing data thus guaranteeing the widest doable coverage inside the actual property group thru Multiple Listings and Networking. Accepting a critical provide is easier since your agent is fully aware of all marketing exercise related together with your property. This reduces your having to verify with a number of agents for another affords. Price control is well achieved. Paint work in good restore-discuss along with your Property Advisor if main works are nonetheless to be accomplished. Softening in residential property costs continue, led by 2.eight per cent decline in the index for Remainder of Central Area

With the steam of an overheated property market dying down, the excitement has now shifted to builders playing discount video games to push new ec launch singapore [that guy] initiatives or clear outdated stock. With so many ‘great offers', patrons are spoiled for choices. In case you overprice your house, buyers shall be delay by the worth. Because of this your own home may take longer to sell, and end up being sold at a lower cost. Patrons may think that you are desperate in promoting (so that you have interaction multiple brokers to sell it off quick). Since they think you might be determined, they may not offer you a great value. Additionally, estate agents are responsibility-certain to avoid another potential conflicts of interest (equivalent to if a celebration to the transaction is related to the agent) until the client's waiver is obtained.

Like anywhere else, cash goes farther when you're exterior the prime districts. In case you plan to stay in a central location, you will have to settle for much less space or fewer onsite services. While rental prices are nonetheless high, 2013 has seen costs adjusting downwards in the higher brackets above $10,000 and the central districts flat-lining. Nevertheless, good value properties in the outer regions and decrease priced items have retained and even seen will increase as individuals typically have been downsizing

It's also usually free to tenants. However tenants paying lower than $three,500 monthly in rental typically pay a half month commission for annually of rental.

In quantum mechanics, spin is an intrinsic property of all elementary particles. Fermions, the particles that constitute ordinary matter, have half-integer spin. Spin-½ particles constitute an important subset of such fermions. All known elementary fermions have a spin of ½.[1][2][3]

Overview

Heuristic depiction of spin angular momentum cones for a spin-1/2 particle.

Particles having net spin ½ include the proton, neutron, electron, neutrino, and quarks. The dynamics of spin-½ objects cannot be accurately described using classical physics; they are among the simplest systems which require quantum mechanics to describe them. As such, the study of the behavior of spin-½ systems forms a central part of quantum mechanics.

A spin-½ particle is characterized by an angular momentum quantum number for spin s of 1/2. In solutions of the Schrödinger equation, angular momentum is quantized according to this number, so that total spin angular momentum

However, the observed fine structure when the electron is observed along one axis, such as the Z-axis, is quantized in terms of a magnetic quantum number, which can be viewed as a quantization of a vector component of this total angular momentum, which can have only the values of ±½ħ.

Note that these values for angular momentum are functions only of the reduced Planck constant (the angular momentum of any photon), with no dependence on mass or charge.[4]

Stern–Gerlach experiment

The necessity of introducing half-integral spin goes back experimentally to the results of the Stern–Gerlach experiment. A beam of atoms is run through a strong heterogeneous magnetic field, which then splits into N parts depending on the intrinsic angular momentum of the atoms. It was found that for silver atoms, the beam was split in two—the ground state therefore could not be integral, because even if the intrinsic angular momentum of the atoms were as small as possible, 1, the beam would be split into 3 parts, corresponding to atoms with Lz = −1, 0, and +1. The conclusion was that silver atoms had net intrinsic angular momentum of Template:Frac.[1]

General properties

Spin-½ objects are all fermions (a fact explained by the spin statistics theorem) and satisfy the Pauli exclusion principle. Spin-½ particles can have a permanent magnetic moment along the direction of their spin, and this magnetic moment gives rise to electromagnetic interactions that depend on the spin. One such effect that was important in the discovery of spin is the Zeeman effect, the splitting of a spectral line into several components in the presence of a static magnetic field.

Unlike in more complicated quantum mechanical systems, the spin of a spin-½ particle can be expressed as a linear combination of just two eigenstates, or eigenspinors. These are traditionally labeled spin up and spin down. Because of this the quantum mechanical spin operators can be represented as simple 2 × 2 matrices. These matrices are called the Pauli matrices.

Creation and annihilation operators can be constructed for spin-½ objects; these obey the same commutation relations as other angular momentum operators.

Connection to the uncertainty principle

One consequence of the generalized uncertainty principle is that the spin projection operators (which measure the spin along a given direction like x, y, or z), cannot be measured simultaneously. Physically, this means that it is ill defined what axis a particle is spinning about. A measurement of the z-component of spin destroys any information about the x and y components that might previously have been obtained.

Mathematically, quantum mechanical spin is not described by a vector as in classical angular momentum. It is described by a complex-valued vector with two components called a spinor. There are subtle differences between the behavior of spinors and vectors under coordinate rotations, stemming from the behavior of a vector space over a complex field.

When a spinor is rotated by 360 degrees (one full turn), it becomes negative, then after a further rotation 360 degrees becomes positive again. This comes about because in quantum theory the state of a particle or system is represented by a complex probability amplitude (wavefunction) Ψ, and when the system is measured; the probability of finding the system in the state Ψ equals |Ψ|2 = Ψ*Ψ, the square of absolute value of the amplitude.

Suppose a detector, that can be rotated, measures a particle, in which the probabilities of detecting some state are affected by the rotation of the detector. When the system is rotated through 360 degrees the observed output and physics are the same as initially but the amplitudes are changed for a spin-½ particle by a factor of −1 or a phase shift of half of 360 degrees. When the probabilities are calculated the −1 is squared; (−1)2 = 1, so the predicted physics is same as in the starting position. Also in a spin-½ particle there are only two spin states and the amplitudes for both change by the same −1 factor so the interference effects are identical, unlike the case for higher spins. The complex probability amplitudes are something of a theoretical construct and cannot be directly observed.

If the probability amplitudes rotated by the same amount as the detector, then they would have changed by a factor of −1 when the equipment was rotated by 180 degrees, which when squared would predict the same output as at the start but this is wrong experimentally. If the detector is rotated by 180 degrees, the result with spin-½ particles can be different to what it would be if not rotated, hence the factor of a half is necessary to make the predictions of the theory match experiment.

Mathematical description

NRQM (Non-relativistic quantum mechanics)

The quantum state of a spin-½ particle can be described by a complex-valued vector with two components called a spinor. Observable states of the particle are then found by the spin-operators, Sx, Sy, and Sz, and the total spin operator, S.

Observables

When spinors are used to describe the quantum states, the three spin operators (Sx, Sy, Sz,) can described by 2x2 matrices called the Pauli matrices whose eigenvalues are ±Template:Frac2.

For example, the spin projection operator Sz affects a measurement of the spin in the z direction.

The two eigenvalues of Sz , ±Template:Frac2, then correspond to the following eigenvectors:

These vectors form a complete basis for the Hilbert space describing the spin-½ particle. Thus, linear combinations of these two states can represent all possible states of the spin, including in the x and y directions.

RQM (relativistic )

While NRQM defines spin-½ with 2 dimensions in Hilbert space with dynamics that are described in 3 dimensional space and time, RQM define the spin with 4 dimensions in Hilbert space and dynamics described by 4 dimensional space-time.

Observables

As a consequence of the four dimensional nature of space-time in relativity, relativistic quantum mechanics uses 4x4 matrices to describe spin operators and observables.

Spin as a consequence of combining quantum theory and special relativity

When physicist Paul Dirac tried to modify the Schrödinger equation so that it was consistent with Einstein's theory of relativity, he found it was only possible by including matrices in the resulting Dirac Equation, implying the wave must have multiple components leading to spin.[5]
