Oscillations In An LC Circuit

2.3K
An idealized LC circuit of zero resistance can oscillate without any source of emf by shifting the energy stored in the circuit between the electric and magnetic fields. In such an LC circuit, if the capacitor contains a charge q before the switch is closed, then all the energy of the circuit is initially stored in the electric field of the capacitor. This energy is given by

Oscillations about an Equilibrium Position

Stability is an important concept in oscillation. If an equilibrium point is stable, a slight disturbance of an object that is initially at the stable equilibrium point will cause the object to oscillate around that point. For an unstable equilibrium point, if the object is disturbed slightly, it will not return to the equilibrium point. There are three conditions for equilibrium points—stable, unstable, and half-stable. A half-stable equilibrium point is also unstable, but is named so...

Spin–Spin Coupling Constant: Overview

In bromoethane, the three methyl protons are coupled to the two methylene protons that are three bonds away. In accordance with the n+1 rule, the signal from the methyl protons is split into three peaks with 1:2:1 relative intensities. The methylene protons appear as a quartet, with the relative intensities of 1:3:3:1.
Qualitatively, any spin plus-half nucleus polarizes the spins of its electrons to the minus-half state. Consequently, the paired electron in the hydrogen–carbon bond must...

Forced Oscillations

6.6K
When an oscillator is forced with a periodic driving force, the motion may seem chaotic. The motions of such oscillators are known as transients. After the transients die out, the oscillator reaches a steady state, where the motion is periodic, and the displacement is determined.

Damped Oscillations

5.8K
In the real world, oscillations seldom follow true simple harmonic motion. A system that continues its motion indefinitely without losing its amplitude is termed undamped. However, friction of some sort usually dampens the motion, so it fades away or needs more force to continue. For example, a guitar string stops oscillating a few seconds after being plucked. Similarly, one must continually push a swing to keep a child swinging on a playground.
Although friction and other non-conservative...

Atomic Nuclei: Larmor Precession Frequency

1.5K
The earth's gravitational field produces a 'twisting force' perpendicular to the angular momentum of a spinning mass (such as a spinning top) that causes the mass to 'wobble' around the gravitational field axis in a phenomenon called precession. Similarly, the magnetic moment (μ) of a spinning nucleus precesses due to an external magnetic field directed along the z-axis. The precession of the magnetic moment vector about the magnetic field is called Larmor precession,...

Summary

We observed synchronized oscillations in levitated micro-particles. Increasing laser power led to collective behavior and synchronized limit cycles in these non-Hermitian opto-mechanical oscillators.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum optics
  • Optomechanics
  • Non-Hermitian physics

Background:

  • Opto-mechanical oscillators are systems where light and mechanical motion interact.
  • Non-Hermitian systems exhibit unique properties not found in their Hermitian counterparts.
  • Stochastic forces can influence the behavior of micro-scale systems.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the emergence of synchronized oscillations in a pair of non-Hermitian, stochastic, opto-mechanical oscillators.
  • To explore the transition from weakly correlated motion to collective, synchronized behavior.
  • To identify potential applications in topological materials and quantum sensing.

Main Methods:

  • Experimental setup using levitated polystyrene microspheres in laser beams.
  • Theoretical analysis of non-conservative forces and optical spin.
  • Observation of particle motion and correlation at varying laser powers.

Main Results:

  • Particles exhibited orbital circulation and correlated stochastic motion with increasing laser power.
  • A collective Hopf bifurcation was observed, leading to synchronized limit cycles.
  • Synchronization was driven by weak optical and hydrodynamic interactions.

Conclusions:

  • Levitated non-Hermitian opto-mechanical oscillators can achieve coherent coupled oscillations and synchronization.
  • This system offers a platform for exploring opto-mechanical topological materials and classical time crystals.
  • Synchronized states in levitated optomechanics could enable robust sensors and macroscopic entanglement.
