    "abstract": "The motion of neutral particles with magnetic moments in an inhomogeneous\nmagnetic field is described in a quantum mechanical framework. The validity of\nthe semi-classical approximations which are generally used to describe these\nphenomena is discussed. Approximate expressions for the evolution operator are\nderived and compared to the exact calculations. Focusing and spin-flip\nphenomena are predicted. The reliability of Stern-Gerlach experiments to\nmeasure spin projections is assessed in this framework.",
