Please, help me with this problem!

Two distinguishable particles of spin 1/2 interact with Hamiltonian
H=A*S1,z*S2,x
with A a positive constant. S1,z and S2,x are the operators related to the z-component of the spin of the first particle and to the x-component of the spin of the second particle, respectively.
If at t=0 the system is in its simultaneous eigenket of S1,z for the eigenvalue h/4pi (ħ/2) and of S2,x for the eigenvalue h/4pi (ħ/2), FIND THE STATE OF THE SYSTEM AT THE TIME t

Attempt of solution:
Firstly, one should use the formulas for temporal evolution. Please, help me!

Note that the problem in the attachment states that the initial state is an eigenket for S2,z rather than S2,x.

Hi, I had an exam and I completely messed up a problem. Especially one part which was necessary for the rest of the problem. Basically, I have a wormhole metric: $$(ds)^2 = -(dt)^2 + (dr)^2 + (r^2 + b^2)( (d\theta)^2 + sin^2 \theta (d\phi)^2 )$$ Where ##b=1## with an orbit only in the equatorial plane. We also know from the question that the orbit must satisfy this relationship: $$\varepsilon = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{dr}{d\tau})^2 + V_{eff}(r)$$ Ultimately, I was tasked to find the initial...
The value of H equals ## 10^{3}## in natural units, According to : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_units, ## t \sim 10^{-21} sec = 10^{21} Hz ##, and since ## \text{GeV} \sim 10^{24} \text{Hz } ##, ## GeV \sim 10^{24} \times 10^{-21} = 10^3 ## in natural units. So is this conversion correct? Also in the above formula, can I convert H to that natural units , since it’s a constant, while keeping k in Hz ?
