Dynamics Underlying the Gaussian Distribution of the Classical Harmonic Oscillator in Zero-Point Radiation
Figure 4
The probability distribution constructed from a single particle’s trajectory (number of sampled frequencies ). Left: the position and momentum probability distributions for the SED harmonic oscillator (black dot) and the ground state quantum harmonic oscillator (red and blue lines) are compared. Right: an illustration of the sequential sampling shows how positions are recorded at a regular time sequence (red cross). Note that at small time scale the oscillation amplitude is constant, but at large time scale it modulates.
