Quantum harmonic oscillator — The quantum harmonic oscillator is the quantum mechanical analogue of the classical harmonic oscillator. It is one of the most important model systems in quantum mechanics because an arbitrary potential can be approximated as a harmonic potential … Wikipedia
Crystal oscillator — A miniature 4 MHz quartz crystal enclosed in a hermetically sealed HC 49/US package, used as the resonator in a crystal oscillator. A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit that uses the mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal … Wikipedia
Parametric oscillator — A parametric oscillator is a simple harmonic oscillator whose parameters (its resonance frequency omega and damping eta) vary in time in a defined wayAnother intuitive way of understanding a parametric oscillator is as follows: a parametric… … Wikipedia
