| Summary:

We use a new theory termed co-quantum dynamics (CQD) to numerically model
spin flip in the multi-stage Stern$unicode{x2013}$Gerlach (SG) experiment
conducted by R. Frisch and E. Segr`e. This experiment consists of two
Stern$unicode{x2013}$Gerlach apparatuses separated by an inner rotation
chamber that varies the fraction of spin flip. To this day, quantum mechanical
treatments inadequately predict the Frisch$unicode{x2013}$Segr`e experiment.
Here, we account for electron-nuclear interactions according to CQD and solve
the associated Schr"odinger equation. Our simulation outcome agrees with the
Frisch$unicode{x2013}$Segr`e experimental observation and supports CQD as a
potential model for electron spin evolution and collapse.
