Abstract

It is shown that a system of coupled harmonic oscillators can be made a model of a heat bath. Thus a particle coupled harmonically to the bath and by an arbitrary force to a fixed center will (in an appropriate limit) exhibit Brownian motion. Both classical and quantum mechanical treatments are given.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
