Classical and quantum coupled oscillators: symplectic structure

Abstract: We consider a set of N linearly coupled harmonic oscillators and show that the diagonalization of this problem can be put in geometrical terms. The matrix techniques developed here allowed for solutions in both the classical and quantum regimes.

“…Such a behavior of spectral anticrossing is a typical sign of strong coupling. The observed spectral behavior can easily be explained and fitted (blue curve) by a model assuming strong coupling between two harmonic oscillators: , the cavity field (measured gray Lorentzian line shape functions for the on-axis cavity mode) and the longitudinal plasmon mode of the GNR represented by the brown Lorentzian curve with the fixed spectral maximum and spectral width as fitting parameters.…”

“…Both can be regarded as damped Lorentzian oscillators scriptL i with intrinsic eigenfrequency ω i and damping constant γ i where i = R , G symbolizing the resonator ( R ) and the GNR ( G ). The respective differential equations (see Supporting Information) for such coupled systems can be solved for the coupled resonance frequencies ω ± by introducing a complex eigenfrequency for i : ω̃ i 2 = ω i 2 i ω i γ i with solutions , ω̃ ± 2 = 1 2 [ ω̃ R 2 + ω̃ G 2 ± ( ω̃ R 2 ω̃ G 2 ) 2 + 4 g 2 ] where the coupling g is given in terms of the coupling frequencies Ω i by g = normalΩ G normalΩ R which are only equal for identical oscillators. As can be seen from eq the coupled system shows a high frequency scriptL + and a low frequency mode …”

“…Clearly, this corresponds to coupled harmonic oscillators. As demonstrated in Appendix A, this Hamiltonian can be solved exactly using the symplectic transformation [58,59], which decouples the coupled harmonic oscillators into the following form:…”

“…In this section, we establish a connection between Lyapunov exponents and the rate of information loss, in this model, which we generalize to periodic quadratic Anosov systems in the following section and exemplify with a physically more sound system of coupled parametric oscillators. The solution of the Heisenberg equations of motion for the vector ẑ = ( x1 , p1 , x2 , p2 ) T is as follows [22]:…”
