In previous work, we have shown how the description of spin may be generalized and we have worked out this generalization for the cases spin 1/2 and spin 1. In this paper, we deal with the case of spin 2 and give the generalized probability amplitudes.
Intimate though the connection is between orbital angular momentum and intrinsic spin, there are differences between them the two quantities. One of them is the fact that while orbital angular momentum has a wave-mechanics description by courtesy of Legendre's equation, spin lacks one. In this paper, we show that there exists a differential eigenvalue equation whose solutions are the spin-1/2 eigenvectors.
In this paper, we demonstrate how the interpretation of quantum mechanics due to Landé resolves the Schrödinger cat paradox and disposes of the problem of wave function collapse.
