Angular momentum eigenvalues

💻 Book a 1:1 session: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FA...

📚 Angular momentum is a familiar quantity from classical mechanics. In quantum mechanics, angular momentum has some distinctive features that make it even more interesting than its classical counterpart. In this video, we derive the possible angular momentum eigenvalues and learn that they cannot take an arbitrary value, but instead are quantized.
