    Graduate Two Identical Particles w/ Spin State s

    How is 1 + 1 = 1? The definition of an antisymmetric spin means that they are in different energy states. S+1/S -- isn't this the ratio of symmetric to antisymm spins? How would you even begin to prove this?

    Graduate Greatest accuracy in the |mn> state is |n| = m

    Yes M is an angular momentum operator. I also know that the components Mx and My do not commute. However, I do not understand how to show the greatest accuracy. Are you saying that Mx and My are orthogonal since they do not commute?

    Graduate Greatest accuracy in the |mn> state is |n| = m

    How do we show that the greatest accuracy in the |mn> state is |n| = m for the Mx and My components?
