Around and around in circles: the rigid rotor

We consider one more model problem, this one concerning the rigid rotation of a diatomic molecule. Though the problem is simple compared to most molecular systems chemists are interested in, it yielded our first example of a wavefunction that was complex and not real valued. It will also provide a basis for an atomic model problem - the hydrogen atom.
