wavefunction - How to find the time evolution for two-component spinor?



I would like to find the time evolution for the given Hamiltonian, the initial state of the system we choose two spinor wavefunction ψ+(t=0) and ψ(t=0) as given below:


The effective Hamiltonian can be written as H=νFσ(qByˆx)

where σ=(σx,σy) and q=(qx,qy) are the Pauli matrices and the momentum operator respectively. Taking the spinor wavefunctions as ψ+=eikxψ=eikx
as the initial condition for the Schrodinger equation. The time evolution of the system, Ψ(r,t)=eiνFσ(qByˆx)tΨ(r,0)
and Ψ(r,0)=eikx(11)
