15. (20 pts) Consider the spin state of a proton. Recall that the spin operators are
where i =
. Suppose that a static external magnetic field is applied along the y direction, so that the hamiltonian is
where B is the magnetic field strength, and
is a real constant. Denote the spin up state a and the spin down stateβ as
(d) (6 pts) T'he tine evolution of the spin state
(t) obeys the time-dependent Schrodinger equation
Together with the initial condition
(t = 0) given above, solve
(t).
