Dynamics Underlying the Gaussian Distribution of the Classical Harmonic Oscillator in Zero-Point Radiation

Figure 11

The ensemble-averaged energy of the SED harmonic oscillator and its convergence as a function of sampled frequency number . The number of particles used in the simulation is , and the sampled frequency range is . The energy converges as the number of sampled frequencies increases. At (blue cross), the deviation between the energy of the SED harmonic oscillator and the ground state energy of the quantum oscillator is 1%.
