Problem

(a) Work out the Clebsch–Gordan coefficients for the case s1=1/2s_1 = 1/2, s2=s_2 = anything. Hint: You're looking for the coefficients AA and BB in ∣s m⟩=A∣12 s2 12(m−12)⟩+B∣12 s2 −12(m+12)⟩|s\,m\rangle = A\left|\frac{1}{2}\,s_2\,\frac{1}{2}\left(m - \frac{1}{2}\right)\right\rangle + B\left|\frac{1}{2}\,s_2\,\frac{-1}{2}\left(m + \frac{1}{2}\right)\right\rangle,
