Problem 2. Consider a large ensemble of electrons, all in the same quantum state. When the expectation value of S, is measured the value of ħ/2 is obtained. When the expectation value of S, is measured the obtained value is 0. (a) Determine the state of the electrons and express it as a superposition of states with the positive and negative projections of spin on the z-axis. (b) If the expectation value of S, is measured, what value will be obtained? Problem 3. Consider a system of three distinguishable particles with spin 1/2. Their inter- action is described by the Hamiltonian H = |(25/S2 + SS3 + S2 S3), where 1 is a real constant. Determine the energy levels of this system and their degeneracies.
