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