The oscillator model in a generalized Snyder scheme is a mathematical model that describes the dynamics of an oscillator, i.e. a system which can oscillate between two states over time. It is usually derived from a system of coupled differential equations, in which the oscillator is driven by a forcing term. The model is most commonly used to describe the behavior of nonlinear systems, such as those found in physical, chemical, and biological processes.The formula for the oscillator model in a generalized Snyder scheme can be derived by starting with the following system of coupled differential equations: \begin{alignat}{3}\frac{dX}{dt} &= A X + F(t) \\\ \frac{dY}{dt} &= B Y + G(t)\end{alignat}Where X and Y are the two states of the oscillator, A and B are the coefficients of the coupling between the two states, and F(t) and G(t) are the forcing terms. Solving the above system of equations yields the following equation for the oscillator model: \begin{equation}X(t) = X_0 e^{At} + \int_0^t e^{A(t-\tau)}F(\tau) d\tau\end{equation}Where X_0 is the initial condition of the oscillator at time t=0.
 
Thread 'Need help understanding this figure on energy levels'
This figure is from "Introduction to Quantum Mechanics" by Griffiths (3rd edition). It is available to download. It is from page 142. I am hoping the usual people on this site will give me a hand understanding what is going on in the figure. After the equation (4.50) it says "It is customary to introduce the principal quantum number, ##n##, which simply orders the allowed energies, starting with 1 for the ground state. (see the figure)" I still don't understand the figure :( Here is...
Thread 'Understanding how to "tack on" the time wiggle factor'
The last problem I posted on QM made it into advanced homework help, that is why I am putting it here. I am sorry for any hassle imposed on the moderators by myself. Part (a) is quite easy. We get $$\sigma_1 = 2\lambda, \mathbf{v}_1 = \begin{pmatrix} 0 \\ 0 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_2 = \lambda, \mathbf{v}_2 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \sigma_3 = -\lambda, \mathbf{v}_3 = \begin{pmatrix} 1/\sqrt{2} \\ -1/\sqrt{2} \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} $$ There are two ways...
