And it would be the same for spin down except that then, instead of being a superposition of spin left PLUS spin right, it would be a superposition of spin left MINUS spin right.* John K Clark See what's on my new list at Extropolis <https://groups.google.com/g/extropolis> What orientation of the axes are you using to get that result?
