Abstract
The angular momentum operator is closely related to rotation in space. The quantum mechanical definition of angular momentum differs from the classical definition r × p of angular momentum. This expression is not sufficiently general as it cannot yield spin angular momentum which does not have a classical counterpart without having any coordinate representation.
