A Quantum Description of Signal Transduction in Magnetic Resonance: Analytical Results, Cavity Damping, and Relaxation

James Tropp¹

We expand our earlier quantum mechanical treatment of NMR transduction by the Jaynes-Cummings formalism for a spin coupled to a quantized cavity, to include the effects of cavity losses, and spin relaxation. Some analytical results for Rabi oscillation are also given.
