Transverse spin sum rule of the proton
Physics Letters B, 2020 The transversely-polarized state of a proton with arbitrary momentum is not an eigenstate of transverse angular momentum operator. The latter does not commute with the QCD Hamiltonian.

Spin current driven by ultrafast magnetization of FeRh
Nature Communications, 2023 Laser-induced ultrafast demagnetization is an important phenomenon that probes arguably the ultimate limits of the angular momentum dynamics in solid. Unfortunately, many aspects of the dynamics remain unclear except that the demagnetization transfers ...

Interaction of spin-orbit angular momentum in the tight focusing of structured light
Frontiers in Physics, 2022 As an intrinsic property of light, angular momentum has always been an important research object of light field. In the past few years, the interactions between spin angular momentum and orbital angular momentum in tightly focused structured light have ...

Parallel axis theorem for free-space electron wavefunctions
New Journal of Physics, 2015 We consider the orbital angular momentum of a free electron vortex moving in a uniform magnetic field. We identify three contributions to this angular momentum: the canonical orbital angular momentum associated with the vortex, the angular momentum of ...

International Journal of Instrumentation and Control Systems, 2018 An angular momentum spinner includes two or more rotating arms loaded with an adjustable sliding block for each arm and laid symmetrically about a rotating center. Each sliding block is controlled to move along the corresponding rotating arm. Such a spinner can display the conservation of angular momentum vividly and intuitively, and can also serve as ...

Angular and Orbital Angular Momenta in the Tight Focus of a Circularly Polarized Optical Vortex
Photonics, 2023 Based on the Richards-Wolf (RW) formalism, we obtain two different exact expressions for the angular momentum (AM) density of light in the focus of an optical vortex with a topological charge n and right circular polarization.

Quark Orbital Angular Momentum
EPJ Web of Conferences, 2015 Definitions of orbital angular momentum based on Wigner distributions are used as a framework to discuss the connection between the Ji definition of the quark orbital angular momentum and that of Jaffe and Manohar.

MagnetismThe quantum states of a spin 12 (a qubit) are parametrized by the space CP1∼S2, the Bloch sphere. A spin j for a generic j (a 2j+1-state system) is represented instead by a point in a larger space, CP2j.
