| Feb 1, 2022 at 12:37 | comment | added | Pastudent | My intuition says that passing the electron through that field is like measuring it. Therefore, before measurement the outer boundary electron is in a superpostition of both up and down. However, i don't understand why it would be half half (which is what i often heard). Does that also mean that for atoms with $S=2$ you get five different lines ? | |
