How to calculate reflection and transmission matrices for a Rashba Hamiltonian

[sokrates]

Suppose I have a 2x2 Hamiltonian describing a conducting channel, as a black box.

$$H_{Rashba}=\sigma_y k_x - \sigma_x k_y$$

and also suppose I have an incident 2x1 wavefunction with up and down spin components, to this black box.

What I am trying to do is to write a 2x2 reflection (or transmission) matrix for the wavefunction that is incident to this region.

How can I do this? How do you go about doing such a problem? What are the methods or appropriate terminology for this kind of problem?

I hope the question is clear... Thanks in advance for any guidance.

(This is not homework) ( and I don't want the solution, just the method)

There are so many epistemologists in this forum, nowadays, that nobody can answer even the simplest physics problems.

Good luck figuring which interpretation is better,

I found my answer.
