In work published in Physical Review Research, they present an exact solution for what they call a “damped quantum harmonic oscillator,” essentially the atomic-scale equivalent of a slowly ...

It turns out that for roughly 90 years, theorists have tried to describe these damped harmonic systems using quantum physics—but with limited success.

A plucked guitar string can vibrate for seconds before falling silent. A playground swing, emptied of its passenger, will gradually come to rest. These are what physicists call "damped harmonic ...

Significant progress has been achieved in leveraging atomic systems for the effective operation of quantum networks, which are essential for secure and long-distance quantum communication protocols.

The quantum harmonic oscillator is used in the world of physics to describe the behavior of a system that experiences a restoring force proportional to the displacement from equilibrium position. This ...
