Homework Statement
If P^ is the momentum operator, and σ^ are the three Pauli spin matrices, the eigenvalues
of (σ^.P^) are
(a) (p_x) and (p_z) (b) (p_x)±i(p_y) (c) ± |p| (d) ± (p_x + p_y +p_z)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Pauli matrices are related to rotation.So, (b) looks correct to me.
