Feedback Control of NMR Spin Systems: A Control-Theoretic Perspective

Assuming that ensemble measurements can be performed in real time, the control of an NMR spin system can be studied within the paradigm of classical control theory. Adopting this perspective, these lectures will discuss several aspects of the "state manipulation problem", including controllability, model-based open loop control, real-time state estimation (tomography) based on incomplete and/or noisy data, and the synthesis of feedback mechanisms which can stabilize the system within a desired state.
