Quantum Harmonic Oscillator Behavior at Room Temperature

Posted by in category: quantum physics

We are used to the notion of classical harmonic oscillators; these are oscillators fluctuating coherently-this is, symmetrically-around their equilibrium position, experiencing a restoring force F proportional to the displacement x following the relationship F = – kx, being k a positive constant commonly known in the mechanics of ideal springs.

If F is the only force acting on the system (which means there is no friction with the environment) the system is called a simple harmonic oscillator, and it undergoes a sinusoidal oscillations about the equilibrium point, with a constant amplitude and a constant frequency that does not depend on the amplitude.

In real life, for example in the case of a spring, we see a damped oscillation because it will decrease with time due to friction. So basically, the harmonic oscillation is a very useful idealization that allows to simplify many physical problems.

Huntington’s Discovery Could Lead to New Treatments

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, chemistry

“This research marks the first time that we have been able to identify a specific chemical change that is unique to the development of Huntington’s disease, which opens the possibility of developing new tests to study the early changes of the disease before irreversible damage occurs.”


U.K. and German researchers are hopeful that their discovery of a key biochemical change involved in the development of Huntington’s disease could lead to its early detection and treatment.
