2.I.9D

Quantum Mechanics | Part IB, 2002

From the expressions

Lx=yPzzPy,Ly=zPxxPz,Lz=xPyyPxL_{x}=y P_{z}-z P_{y}, \quad L_{y}=z P_{x}-x P_{z}, \quad L_{z}=x P_{y}-y P_{x}

show that

(x+iy)z(x+i y) z

is an eigenfunction of L2\mathbf{L}^{2} and LzL_{z}, and compute the corresponding eigenvalues.
