It is also widely considered that angular momentum (AM) is also quantized during physical system total energy transitions. Thus, if a system is deconstructed such as Andrew suggests happens when a system emits a photon, then (assuming conservation of angular momentum) the AM of each of the separate parts of the original physical system should add up to the quantized AM of the original physical system.
To deduce knowledge of the photon’s AM, one must tightly control the direction of the emitted photon, assuming an uncertainty (HU) applies to the measurement of the photon’s AM with direction being a parameter of the pertinent uncertainty. However, with good control of atomic and/or nuclear systems’ emitted photons, individual physical system AM status should be possible to determine to an accuracy of 1 quanta of AM. An induced magnetic “B” field on the original physical system may also change the emitted photon’s AM in discrete quanta of AM. Resonant magnetic B fields, as are produced by NMR machines, may allow manipulation of the AM of a system being studied.

It is obvious that, if an excited atom emits a photon, it will become lighter. The ground state is lighter than an excited state. This new technique might somehow be able to distinguish the mass-loss to the nucleus alone rather than to the atom (ion) as a whole. Such an ability could provide strong evidence for cold fusion mechanisms via deep-orbit electrons.

This can be explained by Einstein's theory of relativity (E = mc2). However, the effect is minuscule for a single atom. Nevertheless, the team of Klaus Blaum and Sergey Eliseev at the Max Planck Institute for Nuclear Physics has successfully measured this infinitesimal change in the mass of individual atoms for the first time. In order to achieve this, they used the ultra-precise Pentatrap atomic balance at the Institute in Heidelberg. The team discovered a previously unobserved quantum state in rhenium, which could be interesting for future atomic clocks. Above all, this extremely sensitive atomic balance enables a better understanding of the complex quantum world of heavy atoms. https://phys.org/news/2020-05-successfully-infinitesimal-mass-individual-atoms.html
