Big Ideas : Spin in Classical and Quantum Mechanics

Accelerated Physics

Angular Momentum, Magnetic Dipoles and Quantized Spin

We take ideas in first year physics: angular momentum and current loops, and describe to what extent they can model the magnetic dipole moment of elementary particles, and more generally, the idea of quantized spin.

Also. Read Nobel laureate Dudley Hershbach's fun account of replicating the Stern-Gerlach experiment.
