hi,

I want to setup quantum mechanical angular momentum operators and kets such that i can do something like:

Lz[2] . Ket(??, j, m) -> m hbar        (instead of getting m as eigenvalue)

L^2[1] . Ket(??, j, m) -> j (j+1) hbar^2           (instead of getting j)

where L and Lz are quantum operators. 

maybe if i knew how to do 

QuantumOp . Ket{QuantumOp, j) -> j (j+1)

i could do it with explicit tensor products of Kets - one for j, one for m?

can somebody give me an idea of how to do this, or point me at an example?

many thanks,

larry
