  2. Normal mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_mode

    If one measured from the center outward along the radial coordinate one would encounter a full wave, so the mode number in the radial direction is 2. The other direction is trickier, because only half of the disk is considered due to the anti-symmetric (also called skew-symmetry) nature of a disk's vibration in the angular direction. Thus ...

  3. Kuramoto model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kuramoto_model

    where is a nonzero positive real number if oscillator is connected to oscillator . Such model allows for a more realistic study of, e.g., flocking, schooling, and vehicle coordination. [ 28 ] In the work from Dörfler and colleagues, several theorems provide rigorous conditions for phase and frequency synchronization of this model.

  4. Scalar field theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalar_field_theory

    The most basic scalar field theory is the linear theory. Through the Fourier decomposition of the fields, it represents the normal modes of an infinity of coupled oscillators where the continuum limit of the oscillator index i is now denoted by x.

  5. Coupled mode theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupled_Mode_Theory

    Coupled mode theory first arose in the 1950s in the works of Miller on microwave transmission lines, [1] Pierce on electron beams, [2] and Gould on backward wave oscillators. [3] This put in place the mathematical foundations for the modern formulation expressed by H. A. Haus et al. for optical waveguides.

  6. Translation operator (quantum mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Translation_operator...

    Since translation operators all commute with each other (see above), and since each component of the momentum operator is a sum of two scaled translation operators (e.g. ^ = (^ ((,,)) ^ ((,,)))), it follows that translation operators all commute with the momentum operator, i.e. ^ ^ = ^ ^ This commutation with the momentum operator holds true ...

  7. Coupling (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coupling_(physics)

    Two LC circuits coupled together. In LC circuits, charge oscillates between the capacitor and the inductor and can therefore be modeled as a simple harmonic oscillator. When the magnetic flux from one inductor is able to affect the inductance of an inductor in an unconnected LC circuit, the circuits are said to be coupled. [1]

  8. Coherent state - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coherent_state

    The quantum harmonic oscillator (and hence the coherent states) arise in the quantum theory of a wide range of physical systems. [2] For instance, a coherent state describes the oscillating motion of a particle confined in a quadratic potential well (for an early reference, see e.g. Schiff's textbook [3]). The coherent state describes a state ...

  9. Time-translation symmetry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-translation_symmetry

    Time-translation symmetry is the law that the laws of physics are unchanged (i.e. invariant) under such a transformation. Time-translation symmetry is a rigorous way to formulate the idea that the laws of physics are the same throughout history. Time-translation symmetry is closely connected, via Noether's theorem, to conservation of energy. [1]
