Richard Ernst - swiss Scientist

Was born on 14 aug 1933.

Origin country: Switzerland

Playing the violoncello brought me into numerous chamber and church music ensembles, and stimulated my interest in musical composition that I tried extensively while in high school.

Quote by Richard Ernst about interest, school, music

Signal-to-noise ratio calculations and optimizations were daily routine as NMR suffers from a disappointingly low sensitivity that severely limits its applications.

Quote by Richard Ernst about limits

Soon, I knew that I would become a chemist, rather than a composer.

The goal set by Hans Primas was the usage of random noise for the excitation of nuclear magnetic resonance, following the famous concepts of Norbert Wiener for the stochastic testing of non-linear systems.

Quote by Richard Ernst about purpose

Thus, after finishing high school, I started with high expectations and enthusiasm to study chemistry at the famous Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich.

Quote by Richard Ernst about technology, enthusiasm, school

We developed at that time also stochastic resonance as an alternative to pulse FT spectroscopy employing binary pseudo-random noise sequences for broadband excitation, correlating input and output noise.

Quote by Richard Ernst about time

Weston Anderson was on his way to invent Fourier transform spectroscopy in order to improve the sensitivity of NMR by parallel data acquisition.
