Harmonic Oscillator Example
The most common Lindblad equation is that describing the damping of a quantum harmonic oscillator, it has, with all others . Here is the mean number of excitations in the reservoir damping the oscillator and is the decay rate. Additional Lindblad operators can be included to model various forms of dephasing and vibrational relaxation. These methods have been incorporated into grid-based density matrix propagation methods.

Famous quotes containing the word harmonic:
“For decades child development experts have erroneously directed parents to sing with one voice, a unison chorus of values, politics, disciplinary and loving styles. But duets have greater harmonic possibilities and are more interesting to listen to, so long as cacophony or dissonance remains at acceptable levels.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
