If we calculate the ground state energy of a system we receive E=w*h(bar).
This Energy can be derived with the harmonic oscillator.
Is this Energy the Energy of a free photon or a free electron in (for ecample) the vacuum state or is this describing a particle between (potential,...) walls?
If yes, why can we describe particles as oscillators (always thought that's to do with waves)?
