Magnetic Resonance

Nuclear magnetic resonance is a technique that exploits the inherent spin of sub-atomic particles inside the nucleus to obtain a tell-tale signature of the nucleus. This technique finds immense use in diagnostic imaging of human tissue. This presentation will be a simple approach to the physics of the phenomenon of magnetic resonance and will also touch upon the technological aspects of the imaging mechanism. Moreover, starting from its medical applications, this talk will also address other novel and esoteric applications, especially its application to quantum computers.
