Stern-Gerlach experiment

The standard technique is to use a Stern-Gerlach experiment.

The Stern-Gerlach experiment has become a paradigm of quantum measurement.

This is done in a way that is very similar to the famous Stern-Gerlach experiment.

The Stern-Gerlach experiment - where an atom is exposed to a magnetic field - provides one such example.

The Stern-Gerlach experiment strongly influenced later developments in modern physics:

After all, the Stern-Gerlach experiment sends the atom through an inhomogenous magnetic field, eh?

The direct observation of the electron's intrinsic angular momentum was achieved in the Stern-Gerlach experiment.

In retrospect, the first direct experimental evidence of the electron spin was the Stern-Gerlach experiment of 1922.

The Stern-Gerlach experiment of 1922 provided further evidence of the quantum nature of the atom.

He was astounded by the Stern-Gerlach experiment, which convinced him of the validity of quantum mechanics.

The necessity of introducing half-integral spin goes back experimentally to the results of the Stern-Gerlach experiment.

See Stern-Gerlach experiment.

For example, if the spin of an electron is measured in any direction, e.g., with a Stern-Gerlach experiment, there are two possible results, up or down.

Their work inspired indirectly the Stern-Gerlach experiment (1922) that used not molecular beams but atomic beams.

The Stern-Gerlach experiment involves sending a beam of particles through an inhomogeneous magnetic field and observing their deflection.

It explains why the spin of the electrons in the Stern-Gerlach experiment acts like a magnet, which splits the silver atoms according to their spin.

The Stern-Gerlach experiment was meant to test the Bohr-Sommerfeld hypothesis that the direction of the angular momentum of a silver atom is quantized.

Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach conduct the Stern-Gerlach experiment, which demonstrates the quantized nature of particle spin.

Later the experimental setup was improved by Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach and became known as Stern-Gerlach experiment.

The Stern-Gerlach experiment was performed in Frankfurt, Germany in 1922 by Otto Stern and Walther Gerlach.

Experiments such as the Stern-Gerlach experiment have shown that sub-atomic particles such as electrons seem to have a north pole and a south pole much like magnets do.

In collaboration with Gregory Breit, he developed the Breit-Rabi equation and predicted that the Stern-Gerlach experiment could be modified to confirm the properties of the atomic nucleus.

Although some discrete quantum phenomena, such as atomic spectra, were observed much earlier, the Stern-Gerlach experiment allowed scientists to conduct measurements of deliberately superposed quantum states for the first time in the history of science.

The existence of spin angular momentum is inferred from experiments, such as the Stern-Gerlach experiment, in which particles are observed to possess angular momentum that cannot be accounted for by orbital angular momentum alone.
