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:
