Classically, angular momentum may be thought of as the Hamiltonian generator of rotations (Proposition 2.30). Angular momentum is a particularly useful concept when a system has rotational symmetry, since in that case the angular momentum is a conserved quantity (Proposition 2.18).

Spin and orbital angular momentum
Europhysics Letters (EPL), 2004It is shown that the existence of a charge-neutral, idealized smooth mesoscopic rigid sphere, characterized by eleven properties, implies a relation between spin and orbital angular momentum. In addition to these properties, this correspondence is based on elements of group theory, conservation of angular momentum, and an ansatz which describes the ...

In this chapter we put together everything we have studied so far—Mathematica, quantum mechanics, computational bases, units—to study simple quantum systems. We start our explorations of quantum mechanics with the description of angular momentum. The reason for this choice is that, in contrast to the mechanically more intuitive linear motion (Chap. 4),

Spin and Orbital Angular Momentum of Photons
Europhysics Letters (EPL), 1994We consider the separation of the total angular momentum of the electromagnetic field into a "spin" and an "orbital" part. Though this separation is normally considered to be unphysical and not observable, we argue that both members in the separation are separately measurable quantities.

Spin and Angular Momentum in General Relativity
Physical Review, 1953In the general theory of relativity, the group of coordinate transformations gives rise to four point-to-point conservation laws, which are usually identified with energy and linear momentum. In the presence of a semiclassical Dirac field, it is convenient to introduce at each point of space-time an arbitrary set of four orthonormal vectors (quadrupeds,

Angular Momentum, Spin and Particle Categories
2013By use of its commutator algebra, properties of the quantum mechanical angular momentum operator are derived. The action of a magnetic field in the Hamilton operator of a single particle is considered and fundamentals of magnetism and the Aharanov–Bohm effect including experimental examples from nanoelectronics are presented.

Controllable Microparticle Spinning via Light without Spin Angular Momentum
Physical Review LettersThe spin angular momentum (SAM) of an elliptically or circularly polarized light beam can be transferred to matter to drive a spinning motion. It is counterintuitive to find that a light beam without SAM can also cause the spinning of microparticles.

Orbital Angular Momentum and Spin
1999We have seen that, in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics, the angular momentum operator is the generator of rotations and commutes with the Hamiltonians of rotationally invariant (i. e., spherically symmetric) systems1. It thus plays a special role for such systems. For this reason, as a preliminary to the next topic — the Coulomb potential — we present
