For , the angular momentum operator gives
The probability density is proportional to
whose maximum occurs at
In a large disk of area , the states that fit inside satisfy . Thus the degeneracy of each Landau level is asymptotically
where is the magnetic flux. There is one state per magnetic flux quantum , up to boundary corrections.
