Questions 1-7: Consider an electron in a pure spin state composed of an equal superposition of sx+) and sy+). That is, the spin state can be expressed as |x) = a(sx+)+|sy+)) where sæ+) and sy+) are the eigenstates of $ and Ŝy operators with eigenvalues +, respectively. First, normalize the vector and determine the constant a. Express your answer in terms of imaginary unit i, constant pi and reduced Planck's constant, hbar. Note that your answer does not have to include all of these variables.
