## Description

    Simple, idelized, component that turns the polarization exactly π/2 around the specified vector
    vector (rx,ry,rx).
    The geometry of the component is realized as a box, where the the spin is rotated at the z-midpoint.

## Input parameters

Parameters in boldface are required; the others are optional.
