Summary
[edit]DescriptionStern–Gerlach experiment variations.png |
English: A neutron is fired into a non-homogeneous magnetic field oriented in the z direction (S-G z analyzer), which deflects the neutron either up or down. This measures whether it has z+ or z- spin.
Experiment 1 - Only the z+ neutrons are passed to the next S-G z analyzer, which deflects all neutrons up, confirming that all have z+ spin. Experiment 2 - Only the z+ neutrons are passed to the next S-G analyzer oriented in the x direction, measuring whether the neutrons have x+ or x- spin. The output is split 50/50 between the two orientations. Experiment 3 - Only neutrons which have been measured to have z+ and x+ spin are passed to the next S-G z analyzer, measuring their z-spin again. Even though earlier all these neutrons were measured to have z+ spin, now the output is split 50/50 between z+ and z-. |
