Step 1
Step 1: The spin operators Sx and Sy are given by: Sx = (1/2) * (σx) Sy = (1/2) * (σy) where σx and σy are the Pauli matrices. Show more…

Find the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the so called Pault spin matrices and show that $S_{x} S_{y}=i S_{r}, S_{y} S_{x}=-i S_{r} S_{x}^{2}-S_{y}^{2}=S_{x}^{2}=1$ where $$\mathbf{S}_{r}=\left[\begin{array}{ll}0 & 1 \\1 & 0 \end{array}\right], \quad \boldsymbol{S}_{y}=\left[\begin{array}{cc}0 & -1 \\1 & 0\end{array}\right]$$ $$\mathbf{S}_{x}=\left[\begin{array}{rr}1 & 0 \\0 & -1\end{array}\right]$$
