Quantum dense coding has been demonstrated experimentally in terms of quantum logic gates and circuits in quantum computation and NMR technique. Two bits of information has been transmitted through manipulating one of the maximally entangled two-state quantum pair, which is completely consistent with the original ideal of Bennett-Wiesner proposal. Although information transmission happens betwe...

What we call “nuclear magnetic resonance” (NMR) was developed simultaneously but independently by Edward Purcell and Felix Bloch in 1946. The experimental method and theoretical interpretation they developed is now called “continuous-wave NMR” (CWNMR). A different experimental technique, called “pulsed NMR” (PNMR), was introduced in 1950 by Erwin Hahn. Pulsed NMR is used in magnetic resonance i...

Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) cryoporometry is a technique for non-destructively determining pore size distributions in porous media through the observation of the depressed melting point of a confined liquid. It is suitable for measuring pore diameters in the range 2 nm – 1 μm, depending on the absorbate. Whilst NMR cryoporometry is a pertabative measurement, the results are independent of ...

This review covers the progress in the field of NMR imaging (NMRI), NMR microimaging, NMR microscopy or MR (micro) tomography as well as MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) over a period from June 2005 to may 2006 and is a continuation of the report from last year. The word ‘‘MRI’’ was used mostly in the medical or clinical field, but recently many authors in non-medical field uses ‘‘MRI’’ instead...

This article reviews the principles and methods of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and gives examples of applications carried out at our Facility, which illustrate the capabilities of the technique. Handbook of instrumental techniques from CCiTUB Nuclear Magnetic Resonance 1 ChT.4

Pieter Zeeman observed in 1896 the splitting of optical spectral lines in the field of an electromagnet. Since then, the splitting of energy levels proportional to an external magnetic field has been called the "Zeeman effect". The "Zeeman resonance effect" causes magnetic resonances which are classified under radio frequency spectroscopy (rf spectroscopy). In these resonances, the transitions ...
