Ok I figured it out but the middle circle actually does play a crucial role. So first the center of the left circle to the radius at the right is sqrt(2). Subtract 1 to find the space in between the origin and that spot on the right. If we set that point on the right of the left circle to be...

Was given this problem a few weeks ago and I'm not sure how I should be approaching it. Please let me know which theorems I should look into in order to solve the problem.
I am in the process of reading through The Theoretical Minimum. One of the processes it suggests is relating to orthogonal vectors, particularly representing the right (|R>) and left (|L>) spins. Common sense says they're orthogonal but I was wondering how exactly to represent the inner product...
