Is there a "quantum state" of an individual electron in a multiple electron system

›
The Pauli exclusion principle claims that in a non-hydrogen atom, each electron occupies a separate "quantum state". Similarly, in...

The gyromagnetic ratio of the electron is 2 because the electron sees a magnet double?

›
The angular momentum of a rotating electron is only h-bar/2. If we imagine it making a circular orbit, its wave function can only complete h...

If angular momentum is stored in a field, the wave function collapse requires the hamiltonian to have global information

›
Suppose that an electron-positron pair is born from a rotating source, and the source stores angular momentum to the electron wave function....
