Ulrich Haeberlen (born 1934 in Blaubeuren) is a German physicist and one of the pioneers of high-resolution NMR in solids.[1]. His work contributed to the development of NMR imaging in medicine, and later became part of the basis for research in quantum computing[2]

Life[edit]

Haeberlen was born in Blaubeuren, Germany, in 1934.[3]. After earning his Mittlere Reife, he trained as a precision engineer at Bizerba, a local manufacturer of precison scales; he then returned to high school and finished the Abitur at Gymnasium Ebingen (today Albstadt) in 1955.[2] In 1956 he began to study physics at Technische Hochschule Stuttgart (now University of Stuttgart), where he chose to specialize in experimental physics in part because of his earlier work on precision engineering[4]. In 1962, he graduated with a Dipl. Phys. and started his doctoral work, which involved the design of NMR spectrometers[4]; he earned a PhD in Physics in 1966[5]. In Summer 1967 he was awarded a fellowship by the German Research Foundation[3] to do postdoctoral work with John S. Waugh at MIT, who was among the leaders in NMR spectroscopy. In 1969, he accepted a position as a research fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research in Heidelberg, where he set up a multiple-pluse NMR lab[2]. In 1975, he completed his habilitation work on high-resolution NMR in solids and became a Professor of Physics at Heidelberg University[3]. From 1987 onwards, he led the molecular crystals group at the Max Planck Institute for Medical Research[2], until he retired in 1999[1]

Research[edit]

Haeberlen is widely recognized as a pioneer of high-resolution NMR in solids[1]; his work has focused on line narrowing multiple pulse NMR, shielding- and quadrupole-coupling tensors of protons/deuterons, motions in molecular crystals. His work in Heidelberg led to fundamental insights about anisotropic chemical shifts of hydrogen and carbon, the dynamics of hydrogen bonds, as well as tunneling of methyl groups and dynamics in molecular crystals. His Average Hamiltonian Theory and his book on "High resolution NMR in Solids" were landmarks in the theoretical handling of solid-state NMR[1] and eventually became part of the basis for experiments in quantum computing[2].
