The harmonic oscillator is a powerful model that can appear as a limit case when examining a nonlinear system. A well known fact is, that without driving, the inclusion of a friction term makes the origin of the phase space -- which is a…
We map the Hilbert space of the quantum Harmonic oscillator to the space of Glauber's $n$th-order intensity correlators, in effect showing "the correlations between the correlators" for a random sampling of the quantum states. In…
