Parametric Oscillators - One, Two, Quantum by Emanuele Dalla Torre

Explore the fascinating world of parametric oscillators in this comprehensive lecture by Emanuele Dalla Torre from the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the concepts of single, double, and quantum parametric oscillators as part of the "Periodically and Quasi-Periodically Driven Complex Systems" program. Gain insights into the interplay between closed quantum systems, open quantum systems, and gauge theory of coupling between matter and radiation. Discover how these concepts apply to various fields, including terahertz and infrared driven quantum matter, shaken optical lattices, Floquet time crystals, and localization-delocalization physics in quasi-periodically driven systems. Learn about the importance of quantum simulation experiments and their interpretation in scenarios where brute force numerical calculations fail.
