, 1- Definition of the angular momentum operators
In classical mechanics, angular momentum is defined as:
L = L x i + L y j + Lz k =
( ) ( )
ypz − zpy i + ( zpx − xpz ) j + xpy − ypx k
i j k Lx = ypz − zpy
L= x y z
Ly = zpx − xpz
p x p y pz
Lz = xpy − ypx
2
L = Lx2 + Ly2 + Lz2
In QM the components, using the substitution rule are:
