Abstract

The time dependent Dirac-Frenkel-Mclachlan-Heller variation of parameters (DFMH method) is used to model two NMR problems that do not have analytical solutions, diffusion in a quadratic field gradient and radiation damping in an inhomogeneous field. Initial results related to the treatment of chemical exchange treated as a distribution and the application of the DFMH method to pulsed RF Gradients will be mentioned.

Abstract:

A striking aspect of the quantum world is the exponentiallity of its
underlying Hilbert space. To describe a general state of n quantum
particles, exp(O(n)) numbers are needed, whereas only O(n) numbers
are needed in the classical case.
