The course comprises approximately 100 full-time study hours, whereof 30 hours Zoom lectures, in addition to self-studies. The lectures treat basic principles such as spin algebra, density operator formalism of quantum statistical mechanics, and the design and operation of the most common multidimensional NMR pulse sequences. The course also includes a short treatment of the application of those methods in structural biochemistry.
For participants without sufficient entry-level knowledge in quantum mechanics, a short additional introduction of ”Quantum mechanics for pedestrians” will be given with the intention of facilitating the understanding of the actual course material.
