Description

We pose and solve a new quantum statistical counting problem and develop it further to obtain a theory for intramolecular vibrational coupling. Simple analytical expressions are presented for T1 and T2 relaxation rates. The formulas predict, in agreement with experiments, that high energy linewidths are nearly energy independent. (orig.)
