====== Interpreting Stern-Gerlach with Dirac Notation ======

===== The Prompt =====

**``How would you represent the probability of the following output using bra-ket notation?''**



===== Context =====

After using the SPINS Stern-Gerlach simulator for experimentation, students benefit from revisiting how the experimental setup is represented in bra-ket notation. This small whiteboard question is useful for exercising students' ability to move between different representations. Here, students must translate the physical experiment   \\\\ \\\\

Additionally, this [[strategy:smallwhiteboard:|SWBQ]] finds natural inclusion in the [[:whitepapers:sequences:spspins|Stern-Gerlach sequence]] and can be incorporated as an extension of many of the listed activities.
