Anharmonic Oscillator

Recommended Posts

Your still missing a vital point, you will never get one master oscillator equation to describe all particles and their interactions.

Every particle and every interaction involves their own specific formulas. If you ignore the math you will miss that detail.

For example invariant quantities are not ocsillating. All wavefunctions are also not oscillations.

The gauge groups I mentioned are not specifically the harmonic oscillator. QFT accounts for the quantum harmonic oscillator in its gauge groups but that isn't the full story.  https://www.google.

Sigh no you have to recognize that harmonic, inharmonic and anharmonic are descriptives of the characteristics of the oscillator.  Here is how classical harmonic oscillator is described.  A

Be careful of such bold statements for example try to define that statement above to the Higgs coupling constants. First ask yourself the function of a coupling constant in regards to mass. (Hint

However ... But it would be like calculating all the interactions of particles at the same time.

No, no I know.

This is where it gets interesting. This amounts to drawing the wave function with the particle.

The oscillator explains a lot. But the oscillator has a trajectory. A trajectory of what? Or at least a periodic charge signal.

No. A particle in a potential well does not have a trajectory. Maybe stay away from QM if you haven’t learned about it (for real, not pop-sci summaries)

If you only have one particle in action, it is sure that there can be no interactions and interference of itself.

single particles through a double-slit will interfere, so no.

In the context of the SM, and for the boson, the principle of reiteration makes it possible to superimpose the "particle" several times in the same place, or at least increase its level of density, at a point.

Principle of reiteration? Does this principle exist outside of your own pet theory?

I understand. There is no particle in the quantum oscillator. Or there is a particle without motion?

It's the wave that interferes, right?

Yes, a principle of me.

An individual conjecture, untested and not mainstream science. Speculation.

Also not to be used as a basis for further speculation. IOW, if you have an idea based on some conjecture, you can’t build a greater conjecture on it. One per thread, and limited to discussion here in speculations. Your original discussion was based in classical physics. What’s the point of moving into QM?

Yes my oscillator remains classic. But then my time is limited for the quantum oscillator?

Neither do I understand what this means. You have looked at numerous QM relations with regards to oscillator behavior under QM through the course of this thread but very little of this thread has dealt with classical.

For example the uncertainty principle is quantum in nature. The statement above doesn't make sense how do you get classical only while discussing the quantum oscillator

All physics apply time

My speaking time is limited in quantum oscillator since my oscillator is classic?

Maybe l should split this thread into one title like: Classical vs. Quantum Harmonic Oscillator

No?

Likely a good idea, that way you can focus on specific applications. When you get into QM those applications can get rather complex.

Split reference:

Conclusion: The oscillator that I am trying to exploit is classical and not quantum.
Indeed in my case the oscillator allows simply to alternate a particle from point A to point B at high speed.
Ultimately, however, it would be difficult to locate the particle at a given fixed point, since the particle is represented on several positions.
It is up to me to find the link and the mathematical equation between the classical alternation of a particle and the HUP and the probability of distribution of the particle.

What is the equation of motion of the system? i.e. the solution to the oscillator equation.

As I am a beginner in mathematics I do not really know. I thought maybe having help here.
Here is how I think to identify the values:

Axa (t1) + xb (t2) + Bxc (t1)

t1 = 1ns
t2 = 1μs
xa = -1
xc =  1
xb = -0.99 to 0.99

If we neglect any form of damping the equation of the movement is:  m.d2x / dt2 + F.x = 0 (1)
There is no analytical solution to the problem and digital integration is required. We use here the Runge-Kutta method at order 4.

No, that doesn’t work.

m.d2x / dt2 = F  is almost F=ma. So there’s a minus sign missing

With Fx, it has the wrong units.

The potential energy of a harmonic oscillator is of the form Ep (x) = ½.Kx 2 . For this type of oscillator, the movement is sinusoidal, the phase portrait v = f (x) is an ellipse and the period is independent of the value of the total energy of the system.
We consider here an oscillator (for example a mass m fixed to a special spring) for which the expression of the potential energy is Ep (x) = ½.Kx 2 - 1 / 3.AKx 3 .
A is a dimensionless coefficient which will characterize the anharmonicity of the oscillator.
To this potential corresponds the force F (x) = - dEp / dx = - Kx + AKx 2 .
This force is zero for x = 0 and for x = 1 / A which are equilibrium positions.
The expression of the second derivative of Ep is d 2 Ep / dx 2 = - K + 2.AKx
For x = 0 it is positive and this position is a stable equilibrium. On the other hand, for x = 1 / A, the second derivative is negative and the equilibrium unstable. The corresponding value of Ep is Ep (1 / A) = Epmax = K / 6A 2.
If we neglect any form of damping the equation of motion is: md 2 x / dt 2 + Fx = 0 (1)
There is no analytical solution to the problem and digital integration is required. We use here the Runge-Kutta method at order 4.
For this integration, the initial conditions must be specified. We take at the moment t = 0, v = 0.
The total energy of m being E = Ep + Ec = Ep(x) + ½.mv 2 , at t = 0, we have E = Ep. To find the initial value of x, we must solve E = Ep(x) by a method of zero.
It is also possible to take x = 0 for t = 0. As Ep(0) = 0, we determine v(0) from E = Ec = ½.mv 2 .
The right part of the animation shows the curve Ep(x) = ½.Kx 2 - 1 / 3.AKx 3 (in red), the curve Ep (x) = ½.Kx 2 (in gray), the movement of the mass m. The orange line corresponds to potential energy and the cyan line to kinetic energy.
The horizontal green line corresponds to the value of the total energy.
At the top left we find the curve v = f(x) (phase portrait) and at the bottom right the curve x = f (t).
The program also displays the value of the period T 0 = 2π / (M / K) ½ of the harmonic oscillator.

The page appears to be modelling a classical harmonic oscillator for a mass m fixed to a special spring.

This formula appears to be attempting to utilize Leibniz's notation for Newtons second law of motion:

$m \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} + F \cdot x = 0$

However, Newtons second law of motion in Leibniz's notation is:

$F = m \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2}$

Subtracting force from both the equation left hand side and right hand side results in:

$m \frac{d^2 x}{dt^2} - F = 0$

However, note the equation definition for the potential force on line 5:

$F(x) = -\frac{dE_p}{dx}$

And the resulting potential energy:

$E_p = -F(x) \cdot dx$

So, The equation on line 11 is mixing systeme internationale units of force (newtons) and energy (joules), which is mathematically incorrect.

Kartazion, I recommend purchasing a university level physics textbook and study the section on Newtonian mechanics for classical harmonic oscillators. University level physics textbooks already provide the required level mathematics in Leibniz's notation, as well as numerical integration for models such as these, instead of landing in the middle of other online models that display crude and incorrect formulas and with insufficient modeling experience. Some experience in Latex modelling would be beneficial also.

Several members have already remarked on this.
Additionally the need for a crash course in A level and post A level Maths has already been admitted by the OP.

Forcing equations of non linear oscillators is definitely a post graduate subject, let alone post A level.

But you, the experts, do you have a mathematical approach to give me for my equation, namely the alternation of a particle from point A to point B?

Or does it not exist at all?

I don’t know what the function would look like for “almost instantaneous” You could start with a simple oscillator using Hooke’s law and tinker from there

For “instantaneous” I doubt there is a solution.

It can be of the order of: 1x10 -1000000 s for a trip from A to B or from B to A.
