  Nuclear magnetic resonance - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
This spin is defined by the fourth quantum number for any given wave function obtained by solving relativistic form of the Schrödinger equation (SE).
Spin angular momentum is quantized and can take different integer or half-integer values depending on what system is under study.
NB: A technique related to NMR is electron spin resonance that exploits the spin of electrons instead of nuclei.

 EPR pulse epr theory page
When an electron spin is placed in a magnetic field, a torque is exerted on the electron spin, causing its magnetic moment to precess about the magnetic field just as a gyroscope precesses in a gravitational field.
We have already seen that electron spins in a magnetic field are characterized by two quantum mechanical states, one with the magnetic moment parallel and the other state with the magnetic moment anti-parallel to the magnetic field.
The electron spins interact with the nuclei in their vicinity and this interaction causes a periodic oscillation in the echo height superimposed on the normal echo decay.

 Spin-Flip Raman Scattering   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
In undoped nanostructures, SFRS can be described as the double resonant process of electronic spin-flip assisted by emission or absorption of acoustic phonons.
In addition, by tuning the angle between the quantum confinement planes and the external magnetic field, the symmetry of electron and hole g factor tensors can be determined separately, unlike, e.g., in electron-spin resonance or photoluminescence measurements.
SFRS can also be applied to study excitons localized at quantum well defects and interface roughness or excitons confined in quantum dots formed by self-organized growth.

 Bulk Spin Resonance Quantum Computation   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The nuclear spin is beautifully isolated from the environment; its spin coherence can last for thousands of seconds.
Implementing such a quantum computer requires the mature techniques of multiple pulse spin resonance.
Using existing NMR spectrometers it will be straightforward to reach about 10 qubits, enough to demonstrate for the first time quantum superfast algorithms and quantum error correction, and to prepare a range of unusual quantum states that have never been realized before (such as the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states that maximally violate Bell's Theorem).

 MRI of Electrons
MRI using electron spin resonance (ESR) is similar to conventional NMR imaging, except that it probes the responses of electron spins to magnetic fields, rather than the responses of nuclear spins.
The key to magnetic resonance imaging is to apply a magnetic field gradient--a field that varies with position.
Since the frequency with which the nuclear or electron spins rotate depends on the strength of the local field, the location of an individual spin can be identified by the frequency of radiation it emits.

 GaAs: Resonant Spin Amplification
If the pump pulses are applied resonantly with the nuclear spin precession frequency, this field leads to a tipping of the nuclear spins, which can again be monitored by the electron spin precession frequency.
Manipulation of the nuclear spin states in semiconductors is possible through the hyperfine interaction with electron spins.
On the other hand, if the electron spins are oriented, the nuclear precession frequency is altered, which is known as the Knight shift in nuclear spin resonance.

 Quantum Computing
  Nonetheless, a “bulk spin-resonance” system is capable in principle of doing quantum computation, and researchers at MIT have proposed the generation of 6-10 quantum bits (“qubits”), which will be a daunting, but not impossible task with today’s technology.
Such systems are many orders of magnitude too small to implement Shor’s algorithm in a meaningful way; that algorithm requires on the order of 2000 qubits to factor a 400-bit number (the rough upper limit that modern conventional computers can factorize in a reasonable time).

 [No title]
When held in a magnetic field, each nucleus within a molecule spins in a certain direction, which can be used to describe its state; spinning upwards can signify a 1 and spinning down, a 0.
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) techniques can be used to detect these spin states and bursts of specific radio waves can flip the nuclei from spinning up (1) to spinning down (0) and vice-versa.
It is the signal from this small amount of extra spin, behaving as if it were a single molecule that can be detected and manipulated to perform calculations while the rest of the spins will effectively cancel each other out.

 Cogprints - Action Potential Modulation of Neural Spin Networks Suggests Possible Role of Spin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
In this paper we show that nuclear spin networks in neural membranes are modulated by action potentials through J-coupling, dipolar coupling and chemical shielding tensors and perturbed by microscopically strong and fluctuating internal magnetic fields produced largely by paramagnetic oxygen.
We suggest that these spin networks could be involved in brain functions since said modulation inputs information carried by the neural spike trains into them, said perturbation activates various dynamics within them and the combination of the two likely produce stochastic resonance thus synchronizing said dynamics to the neural firings.
Although quantum coherence is desirable and may indeed exist, it is not required for these spin networks to serve as the subatomic components for the conventional neural networks.

 McGraw-Hill AccessScience: Magnetic resonance   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
phenomenon exhibited by the magnetic spin systems of certain atoms whereby the spin systems absorb energy at specific (resonant) frequencies when subjected to alternating magnetic fields.
In most cases the natural frequency is that of precession of the bulk magnetic moment M of constituent atoms or nuclei about some magnetic field H.
Because the natural frequencies are highly specific as to their origin (nuclear magnetism, electron spin magnetism, and so on), the resonant method makes possible the selective study of particular features of interest.

Introduction to NMR Liquid state nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is the manipulation of bulk degrees of freedom to obtain information about the underlying nuclear spins in an applied magnetic field.
We begin with spin polarization and its essential role in the scalability of quantum computers, then address the both quantum and classical nature of NMR in thermal liquids, and finally discuss how to increase the number of qubits in the system.
A broadening of a waveform in the frequency-domain is associated with a shrinking of the length of the signal in the time-domain, since as the signal components at various frequencies dephase and become random with respect to one another, their sum tends toward zero.

 EAP article on Muon Spin Rotation/Relaxation/Resonance
spins is manifest in the superimposed oscillations as the muon polarization sweeps past the positron detector.
This is the greatest advantage of µSR as a magnetic resonance technique: whereas NMR and ESR rely upon a thermal equilibrium spin polarization, usually achieved at low temperatures in strong magnetic fields, µSR begins with a perfectly polarized probe, regardless of conditions in the medium to be studied.
The time scale for muon spin resonance is restricted by the muon lifetime; to be observed, a resonance effect must affect the muon polarization in \lsim 10 microsec, implying an RF field H_1 \gsim 2 Oe, which is not difficult to achieve but represents fairly high RF power.

 Biological, Carbon and Theory Issues
Even though the computation may be carried out on a molecular scale, the issue becomes one of having enough molecules to obtain sufficient signal-to-noise ratio to read out the answer.
Consequently, at least at present, these computations must be carried out in bulk or with extremes in temperature.
Quantum computing has now been demonstrated on bulk molecules using multiple pulse nuclear magnetic resonance techniques to produce coherences in liquids (Gershenfeld and Chuang 1997).

 Quantum computing FAQ   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
The nucleus of atoms are like spinning bar magnets, and they can be in 2 states, spin up or spin down.
This would also be a Quantum logic gate, because a radio pulse can also put an atom in a superposition of states, both spin up and spin down at the same time, and anything coupled to that state would also be in a superposition of states.
That page is about NMR quantum computing, which is really classically-parallel bulk quantum computation, in which an Avogadro's number of molecules are used as individual quantum computers, and NMR is used to apply the quantum logic gates and to read out the final state.

 Electron spin resonance of europium in silver chloride
A single silver ion vacancy is associated with each europium ion in a nearest cation position at 93 K and leads to an electron resonance which shows orthorhombic symmetry.
At room temperature most of the vacancies are dissociated and the predominant spectrum arises from Eu in a field of octahedral symmetry.
At room temperature irradiation with blue light produces a reduction in the number of Eu ions and an optical absorption peak at 550 nm due to silver colloid, Irradiation with red light bleaches the colloid band and restores the original number of Eu ions.
