We derive exact formulas describing an indirect von Neumann measurement of a spin-1 system. The results hold for any interaction strength and for an arbitrary output variable $\Hat{O}$.
A general formalism for double and triple spin-correlations of the reaction NN -> DeltaN is developed for the case of collinear kinematics. A complete polarization experiment allowing to reconstruct all of the four amplitudes describing…
We consider the existence of a continuous set of mutually unbiased bases for the continuous and periodic degree of freedom that describes motion on a circle (rotor degree of freedom). By a singular mapping of the circle to the line, we find…
The 7--particle form factors of the fundamental spin field of the O(3) nonlinear $\sigma$--model are constructed. We calculate the corresponding contribution to the spin--spin correlation function, and compare with predictions from the…
We study four spins on a ring coupled through competing Heisenberg interactions between nearest neighbors, $J$, and next-nearest neighbors, $J_2\equiv\alpha J>0$. The spectrum is obtained in a simple way by using the rules for addition of 4…
In a previous work we showed that spin can be envisioned as living in a phase space that is dual to the standard phase space of position and momentum. In this work we demonstrate that the second class constraints inherent in this "Dual…
Recent experiments are reviewed that explore the spin states of a ring-shaped many-electron quantum dot. Coulomb-blockade spectroscopy is used to access the spin degree of freedom. The Zeeman effect observed for states with successive…
The classical spin system consisting of three spins with Heisenberg interaction is an example of a completely integrable mechanical system. In this paper we explicitly calculate its time evolution and the corresponding action-angle…
It is an easily deduced fact that any four-component spin 1/2 state for a massive particle is a linear combination of pairs of two-component simultaneous rotation eigenstates, where `simultaneous' means the eigenspinors of a given pair…
We consider the quantization of chiral solitons with baryon number $B>1$. Classical solitons are obtained within the framework of a variational approach. From the form of the soliton solution it can be seen that besides the group of…
These are notes on the square root of $4\times4$ identity matrix and associated quantum fields of spin one half. The method is illustrated by constructing a new mass dimension one bosonic field. The locality constraint for the field leads…
The present thesis is divided into three parts. In Part I we address a problem within Higher-Spin Gauge Theory in dimension three: namely, that of computing the asymptotic symmetry algebra of supersymmetric models, describing an infinite…
Coupling of angular motion to a spin degree of freedom gives rise to various transport phenomena in quantum systems that are beyond the standard paradigms of classical physics. Here, we discuss features of spin-orbit dynamics that can be…
We study observables in the scattering of classical, spinning objects using the KMOC formalism. In particular, we derive formulas to higher order in spin and one loop $\mathcal{O}(G^2)$ for the spin kick and momentum impulse. Our derivation…
The problem of fermions in 1+1 dimensions in the presence of a pseudoscalar Coulomb potential plus a mixing of vector and scalar Coulomb potentials which have equal or opposite signs is investigated. We explore all the possible signs of the…
It is shown that transient spin-spin correlations in one-dimensional spin S>>1 chain can be enhanced for initially factorized and individually squeezed spin states. Such correlation transfer form "internal" to "external" degrees of freedom…
Although there are many proposals of relativistic spin observables, there is no agreement about the adequate definition of this quantity. This problem arises from the fact that, in the present literature, there is no consensus concerning…
Ramsey spectroscopy has become a powerful technique for probing non-equilibrium dynamics of internal (pseudospin) degrees of freedom of interacting systems. In many theoretical treatments, the key to understanding the dynamics has been to…
Searching for new resonances and finding out their properties is an essential part of any existing or future particle physics experiment. The nature of a new resonance is characterized by its spin, charge conjugation, parity, and its…
