Prob 9:

Using the identication

 of Sx from problem 8 and applying
 the diagram:
 
0 1 0 i 1 0
sin()cos() h2 + sin()sin() h2 + cos() h2
 1 0 i 0 0 1
h
cos() sin()cos() isin()cos()
2 sin()cos() + isin()cos() cos()
=
sin()ei

h
cos()
i
2 sin()e cos()
Now we could use the last part of problem 7 to identify the eigenvector, this
leads to some inobvious manipulation; division by sqrt's to normalize to 1. I will
do a simple extraction (one that would lead to headaches for a larger number
of states).  
a
Let the eigenket be and do the simple evaluation of
b
cos() sin()ei
  
det h2
sin()ei cos()
to determine the eigenvalues h2 , h2
Choosing h

2
a = a cos() + b sin()ei
b = a sin()ei b cos()
Wherethe h2 term cancels out.
a
Since is normalized and that we can introduce a normalizing phase
b  
cos()
for the rst term; we can assume the form
sin()ei
but more dramatically
b
= tan()ei (1)
a
Solving the above conditions on a,b
(1cos())ei i
b
a = sin() or ab = sin()e
1+cos()
Which fortunatly are consistant and yield ab = tan( 2 )ei
Resolving this with 1 yields the answer.
For a greater number of states we just have to walk through using 7.b; not
to obvious but mechanical.
