  • Chapter 19: The Harmonic Oscillator

    19.1 Introduction to the Harmonic Oscillator The harmonic oscillator is a fundamental model in physics that describes the behavior of a system that, when displaced from its equilibrium position, experiences a restoring force proportional to the displacement. In quantum mechanics, the harmonic oscillator is a key model used to understand a variety of physical systems,…
