Abstract
The wide variety of conventions in use concerning rotation operators can be confusing to the student who is beginning a serious study of the quantum theory of angular momentum. These conventions are discussed and compared, and the relation between active and passive rotations is examined. Using these results, a useful formula is derived which connects the reduced matrix element of a tensor operator with quantities that are measured relative to a rotating reference frame.
