TL;DR Summary
Does the Higgs Boson really have 0 spin or is the spin between 0 and 1/2 x (1.054 571 817... x 10-34 J s)?

It really has spin-0. Just like it did on Saturday when you asked then.

This shows, how persistent the Standard Model is. It survives for a whole week ;-) (in fact about 60 years yet).

But leaving theory aside, there's always an error in measurement of spin, isn't there? :smile:

Who cares about measuring the spin of spin-less scalar? :smile:

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
