An explicit demonstration is given of a harmonic oscillator in equilibrium approaching the equilibrium of a corresponding interacting system by coupling it to a thermal bath consisting of a continuum of harmonic oscillators.
We present a generic quantum master equation whose dissipative dynamics autonomously stabilizes a harmonic oscillator in the n=1 Fock state. A multi-mode optomechanical system is analyzed and shown to be an example of a physical system…

We study synchronization in a system of phase-only oscillators residing on the sites of a one-dimensional periodic lattice. The oscillators interact with a strength that decays as a power law of the separation along the lattice length and…
In phase space, we analytically obtain the characteristic functions (CFs) of a forced harmonic oscillator [Talkner et al., Phys. Rev. E, 75, 050102 (2007)], a time-dependent mass and frequency harmonic oscillator [Deffner and Lutz, Phys.…

The phase space of $N$ damped linear oscillators is endowed with a bilinear map under which the evolution operator is symmetric. This analog of self-adjointness allows properties familiar from conservative systems to be recovered, e.g.,…
In this manuscript, we discuss the use of describing functions as a systematic approach to the analysis and design of oscillators. Describing functions are traditionally used to study the stability of nonlinear control systems, and have…
The simple harmonic oscillator has a well-known normalizable, positive energy, bound state spectrum. We show that degenerate with each such positive energy eigenvalue there is a non-normalizable positive energy eigenstate whose…
We extend the notion of quantum blob studied in previous work to excited states of the generalized harmonic oscillator in n dimensions. This extension is made possible by Fermi's observation in 1930 that the state of a quantum system may be…
