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?
