Preamble


This here is an additional post for understanding what the Spin of an Electron is. This knowledge is necessery to understand my post about Quantum Entanglement.

Before we start our Journey into the smallest known particles, I want to clarify that all the information in this post is information i collected for my own general knowledge. I´m not a physicist and there will be no bibliography. The reason i´m sharing this post is because i´m fascinated by this topic and i want to share this facsination with you. This here is just a foretaste and i can´t guarantee 100% reliability. If you find it interesting you should inform yourself and i guarantee you´ll find out that this here is just the tip of the iceberg. I´m looking forward to discuss with you about this topic.

Spin of an Electron

Every Electron has an attribute which is called Spin. For better illustration just say that it is like the direction in which the electron is rotating. The Spin can either be UP or DOWN. The amazing part here is that the spin only gets set when it gets measured in some way. As long as the spin is not determined the electrone is in the so called "Superposition". When an electron is in Superposition its spin is UP and DOWN at the same time. Its more like a possibility of what the spin will be determined as. And this possibility is 50/50. >Back to Quantum Entanglement<

Fascinating stuff. I recently spent about 4 hours studying up on Quantum Computers (D-wave). I only wish that I could retain a little more of what I learn. Very deep.

One way to retain stuff like that is bye writing posts about it =D really works
