The Stuart–Landau equation in fact describes an entire class of limit-cycle oscillators in the weakly-nonlinear limit. μ→0) the van der Pol oscillator reduces to the Stuart–Landau equation. Note the above Hamiltonian approach with an auxiliary second-order equation produces unbounded phase-space trajectories and hence cannot be used to quantize the van der Pol oscillator. The quantum van der Pol oscillator, which is the quantum mechanics version of the classical van der Pol oscillator, has been proposed using a Lindblad equation to study its quantum dynamics and quantum synchronization. Such a Hamiltonian also connects the geometric phase of the limit cycle system having time dependent parameters with the Hannay angle of the corresponding Hamiltonian system.

This may, in principle, lead to quantization of the Van der Pol oscillator. Those self-sustained oscillations are of the greatest importance in clock-making, musical instruments, wireless telegraphy, friction dynamics, chemistry, biology and many other fields.Īlmost simultaneously and independently in the beginning of the years 1880, Lord Rayleigh proposed a second order differen¬ tial equation with a suitable nonlinear friction term, to modelize self-sustained oscillations, and Henri Poincaré showed the pres¬ ence, in planar systems of nonlinear differential equations, of periodic solutions to which neighboring solutions are asymptotic for t going to infinity, named limit cycles.D 2 x d t 2 − μ ( 1 − x 2 ) d x d t + x = 0, are the conjugate momenta corresponding to x and y, respectively. able to transform a continuous source of energy into a periodic motion exist since Antiquity, and the most ludic one can be the drinking bird, a scientific toy patented by an American inventor in 1946.
