Characterizing quantum properties of coupled harmonic oscillators with Husimi visualization

POSTER

Abstract

~We examine the dynamics of systems of coupled quantum harmonic oscillators using Lie algebra techniques. The features of the system are then visualized using a time-dependent Husimi function. From these visualizations, we can classify the effects of different couplings and initial conditions on the dynamics of the system to facilitate quantum control.
