Question: Q . 1 : Two spin - states are described by | + n 1 : | and | + n 2 : | .

Q.1: Two spin-states are described by |+n1:| and |+n2:|. The fidelity is defined as the probability to find state (:|+n1} in state (:|+n2} when measured, i.e.F12=(+n2:)|. Show that this works out to be cos22 with as the angle between the unit vectors hat(n)1 and hat(n)2.[See Q.5 of HW8 for relation between hat(n) and (,).]
Q.2: A linearly polarized light beam with intensity I0 when passed through a polarizer with its horizontal pass axis leads to intensity 3I04.
(a) Now if the pass axis is rotated by a 45 angle keeping plane of polarizer same, what are the possible values of the intensity?
(b) When the polarizer is rotated by angle the intensity is found to be the same for clockwise and anticlockwise rotations. Find .
