The career of a young theoretical physicist consists of treating the harmonic oscillator in ever-increasing levels of abstraction. Sidney Coleman

I was very eager to produce an oscillator for short waves. I was doing science with microwaves, and I would get down to a few millimetres in wavelength, but I wanted to get shorter wavelengths; I wanted to get into the infra-red because I saw there was a lot more to be done there. Charles Hard Townes

A badly designed oscillator circuit may suddenly begin oscillating on an overtone. Source: Internet

A crystal oscillator depends for its frequency on its physical dimensions, which vary with fabrication and environmental conditions. Source: Internet

A consequence of these activity dips is that the oscillator may lock at a spurious frequency at specific temperatures. Source: Internet

Adding or removing bosons from each state is, therefore, analogous to exciting or de-exciting a quantum of energy in a harmonic oscillator. Source: Internet
