When a guitar string is plucked or a playground swing is set in motion, the movement gradually fades away. Physicists call these “damped harmonic oscillators,” and Newton’s laws do a fine job of ...

In a study published July 7 th, 2025, in the journal Physical Review Research, University of Vermont researchers discovered a precise solution to a model that acts as a “damped quantum harmonic ...

A Vermont research team has cracked a 90-year-old puzzle, creating a quantum version of the damped harmonic oscillator. By reformulating Lamb’s classical model, they showed how atomic vibrations can ...
