A First Attempt at Solving the Bloch Equations on Quantum Computers
Impact: This
work demonstrates the feasibility of solving the Bloch equations on quantum
computers. Quantum algorithms could greatly enhance model-based quantitative
MRI techniques like Magnetic Resonance Fingerprinting by leveraging quantum
parallelism to simulate larger problems and finer dictionaries than currently
feasible.

One-shot Prediction of Pose-Dependent B₀ Field Variations
Impact: The proposed data-driven pipeline accelerates
and improves pose-dependent B0 field-map estimation by eliminating
the need for additional calibration scans or sequence modifications. Under motion,
the model can be used in real-time motion-adaptive shimming or retrospective
correction of motion-induced off-resonance effects.
