# NQR Bloch Simulator for Python
This is a Python implementation of an NQR Bloch Simulator. It can be used for simulating NQR spectroscopy signals in the time domain. The simulator is based on the paper [1].
Right now the implementation is in a early stage and has not yet been tested and verified.
## Installation
Create a virtual environment and activate it:
```
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```
To install the package, run the following command in the root directory of the project:
```
pip install .
```
Alternatively you can install the package via PyPI:
```
pip install nqr-blochsimulator
```
The package can then be tested by running
```
python -m unittest tests/simulation.py
```
This will run a simulation of a simple FID for BiPh3 and plot the result in time domain.
## References
The simulator is based on the paper:
