I. <strong>Angular</strong> Momentum Operator<br />
Rotation R(θ): in polar coordinates the point r = (r, φ)<br />
is transformed to r' = (r,φ + θ) by a rotation through the<br />
angle θ around the z-axis<br />
Define the rotated wave function as:<br />
Polar coordinates:<br />
Its value at r is determined by the value <strong>of</strong> φ at that point,<br />
which is transformed to r by the rotation:<br />
The shift in φ can also be expressed by a Taylor expansion<br />
Rotation (in exponential representation):<br />
where the operator J z for infinitesimal rotations is the<br />
angular-momentum operator:
