They are the foundation of everything that follows in the magnetometer: optical pumping, Larmor precession, signal demodulation, and state estimation all reduce to solving these equations under different conditions.</p> <h2 id="what-this-lesson-covers">What This Lesson Covers</h2> <p>Starting from a single spin-½ in a static magnetic field, the lesson builds up to the full Bloch vector equations through:</p>
