Dear all,
The Hamiltonian for a particle in a magnetic field can be written as
$$\hat{H} = \frac{1}{2}g\mu_B\textbf{B}\cdot\boldsymbol\sigma$$
where ##\boldsymbol\sigma## are the Pauli matrices.
This Hamiltonian is written in the basis of the eigenstates of ##\sigma_z##, but how is it written/transformed when it is in the basis of the eigenstates of ##\sigma_x##?
Thanks in advance
