    • 10.1: Measuring Angular Momentum
      We have an operator for the z-component and magnitude-squared of angular momentum, and these have real eigenvalues, so they must be measurable, but exactly how do we do that?
    • 10.2: It's Not Rotating!
      Quantum mechanics is the theory of the very small, but we could always visualize some kind of macroscopic classical analog... until now.
    • 10.3: Fermions and Bosons
      Every elementary particle in existence comes in one of two varieties.
