Induction quantized

All possible alignments between the dipole and the magnetic induction are allowed, and the energies are continuous there is no hint of quantization. 

The concept of quantization enabled physicists to solve problems that nineteenth-century physics could not. One of these involved the thermal properties of solids when they are heated to incandescence. The other involved the induction of electrical current in metals when they are exposed to only specific frequencies of electromagnetic radiation. 

A related RF technique to NMR is nuclear quad-rupole resonance (NQR). In NQR, transitions between nuclear quadrupole levels of nuclei in a solid material are induced by the applied radiation. The electric field gradients in the solid orient the quad-rupolar nuclei I>1/2) and give rise to quantized energy levels that yield transitions in the MHz range. FT-NQR spectroscopy measures these splittings and the relaxation times by free induction decay or various pulse echo experiments. FT-NQR spectroscopy provides information about the local environment around the quadrupolar nucleus in a crystal. 

The choice of the adjustable parameters used in conjunction with classical potentials can result to either effective potentials that implicitly include the nuclear quantization and can therefore be used in conjunction with classical simulations (albeit only for the conditions they were parameterized for) or transferable ones that attempt to best approximate the Born-Oppenheimer PES and should be used in nuclear quantum statistical simulations. Representative examples of effective force fields for water consist of TIP4P (Jorgensen et al. 1983), SPC/E (Berendsen et al. 1987) (pair-wise additive), and Dang-Chang (DC) (Dang and Chang 1997) (polarizable, many-body). The polarizable potentials contain - in addition to the pairwise additive term - a classical induction (polarization) term that explicitly (albeit approximately) accounts for many-body effects to infinite order. These effective potentials are fitted to reproduce bulk-phase experimental data (i.e., the enthalpy at T = 298 K and the radial distribution functions at ambient conditions) in classical molecular dynamics simulations of liquid water. Despite their simplicity, these models describe some experimental properties of liquid...
