Propelling Quantum States: Recent NMR Experiments

Explore a lecture by T S Mahesh on recent Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) experiments focused on propelling quantum states, presented as part of the "Quantum Trajectories" program at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. This hour-long presentation contributes to a broader scientific initiative addressing central theoretical questions in quantum mechanics, including quantum trajectories, quantum control, measurement-induced phase transitions, and quantum information and computation. The program, organized by Michel Bauer, Cedric Bernardin, Raphael Chetrite, and Abhishek Dhar, represents part of the "second quantum revolution" that bridges theoretical physics, applied mathematics, and experimental implementations of quantum technologies. The lecture demonstrates how modern high-speed electronics and low-temperature technologies have enabled the practical realization of quantum experiments that were once only theoretical concepts.
