    Finding the Eigenstate of S2 for a Spin 1 Particle

    Homework Statement I'm trying to show the Eigenstate of S2 is 2ħ^2 given the matrix representations for Sx, Sy and Sz for a spin 1 particle Homework Equations Sx = ħ/√2 * \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \end{pmatrix} Sy = ħ/√2 * \begin{pmatrix} 0 & -i & 0 \\ i & 0 & -i...
