This course introduces the quantum mechanical concept of angular momentum operator and its relationship with rotation operator. It then presents the angular momentum operators, their eigenvalues and ...

Quantum operators and their matrix representations. Angular momentum operator as the generator of rotations. Eigenvalues and eigenstates of angular momentum. The uncertainty principle. Spin one-half ...

Diffraction from the absorber changes the angular-momentum distribution. The angular momentum can then be measured using an appropriate holographic grating followed by a lens and a pinhole (the light ...

Conceptual structure of total angular momentum manipulator: a light beam carrying multiple angular momentum modes passes through the manipulator for filtering.

Through weak measurements of orbital angular momentum and strong measurements of angular position, we measure the complex probability amplitudes of a pure state with a dimensionality, d=27.

Rotating objects carry angular momentum; this fact extends even to the tiniest of particles, such as photons. Photons possess not one but two distinct forms of angular momentum: spin angular momentum ...
