Stern-Gerlach experiment: an atomic beam splits into discrete spin components in an inhomogeneous magnetic field.

Quantum Stern-Gerlach experiment is a planned ScholarlyWiki page in the Quantum Collection about spin quantization in an inhomogeneous magnetic field.


Overview

Placeholder: introduce the Stern-Gerlach experiment as a key demonstration that angular momentum projections are quantized.

Key ideas

Placeholder: cover spin, magnetic moment, inhomogeneous magnetic field, quantized outcomes, measurement.

Historical setup

Placeholder: develop this section with definitions, experimental details, formulas, and links to related Quantum Collection pages.
