- Comparisons of the energy differences between two states with that predicted by theory can test the theoretical model. For the case of the muon g-value, there's a small discrepancy between it and the Standard Model of particle physics. We can see atomic transitions in cesium in atomic clocks. We can measure the frequency by applying pulses at frequencies to observe the resonance (see the provided equation, Rabi's formula). Consider a spin-1/2 particle that precesses in a magnetic field in the z direction. The probability of the particle being spin up or spin down along z doesn’t vary with time. The states |+z> and |—z> are stationary states of the Hamiltonian H-hat = ω0 S-hatz. If we alter the Hamiltonian by applying in addition an oscillating magnetic field transverse to the z axis, we can induce transitions between these two states by properly adjusting the frequency of this transverse field. The energy difference E+—E_ = h-bar ω0 can then be measured with high accuracy.
