Homework Statement
At t=0, the particle is in the eigenstate S_x, which corresponds to the eigenvalues -\hbar \over 2The particle is in a magnetic field and its Hamiltonian is H=\frac{eB}{mc}S_z. Find the state at t>0.
Homework Equations
Eigenstate of the Sx is
|->_x=\frac{1}{2^\frac{1}{2}}(|+>-|->)
The Attempt at a Solution
Since I am given with the initial state, then
|-(t)>_x=\frac{1}{2^\frac{1}{2}}(e^\frac{-iE_+t}{\hbar}|+>-e^\frac{-iE_-t}{\hbar}|->)
where E_t=\frac{eB}{mc}
and E_-=-\frac{eB}{mc}
Why am I wrong?
