Main Methods:

  • QSim utilizes a mouse-driven interface for intuitive pulse sequence implementation and analysis.
  • The program supports multi-channel experiments, shaped pulses, mixing, decoupling, phase-cycling, and pulsed field gradients.
  • Simulations can incorporate any number of spins, arbitrary spin quantum numbers, and account for relaxation during all pulse sequence steps, including interference effects.

Main Results:

  • QSim successfully simulates a wide range of modern NMR experiments, accommodating complex pulse sequences.
  • The software accurately models relaxation phenomena and supports simulations of chemical kinetics between multiple states.
  • Both classical and quantum mechanical calculations can be performed, with results presented as magnetization over time or processed spectra.

Conclusions:
