I fixed that typo. So, $$ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{pmatrix} -\frac{i}{\sqrt{2}}\\ 1\\ \frac{i}{\sqrt{2}} \end{pmatrix} =\left(-i\right) \frac{1}{2}\begin{pmatrix}1\\ i\sqrt{2}\\-1 \end{pmatrix} $$ If I next try to measure ##-\hbar## in ##S_z## basis, I get $$ \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 0 & -1 \\...

I know how to construct Sy for spin = 1 case from the raising and lowering operators. I get $$ S_y=\frac{i\hbar}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{pmatrix} 0 & -1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & -1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ \end{pmatrix} $$ From what I have seen, the eigenspinor for $\hbar$ is found by solving $$...

I am currently finishing my first year as a Ph.D. Physics student in the U.S.. Research opportunities are limited at my university. Are there any outside opportunities to do paid summer research, maybe in Canada, in fields related to condensed matter physics, photonics, or biological physics? I...
