The {ital S}=1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet in the ladder geometry is studied as a model for the spin degrees of freedom of SrCu{sub 2}O{sub 3}. The susceptibility and the spin-echo decay rate are calculated using a quantum Monte Carlo technique, and the spin-lattice relaxation rate is obtained by maximum-entropy analytic continuation of imaginary-time correlation functions. All calculated quantities are in reasonable agreement with experimental results for SrCu{sub 2}O{sub 3} if the exchange coupling {ital J}{approx_equal}850 K. However, for the susceptibility fit an anomalously low factor is required. {copyright} {ital 1996 The American Physical Society.}
