Toppling Pencils—Macroscopic Randomness from Microscopic Fluctuations
We construct a microscopic model to study discrete randomness in bistable systems coupled to an environment comprising many degrees of freedom. A quartic double well is bilinearly coupled to a finite number <i>N</i> of harmonic oscillators. Solving the time-reversal invariant Hamiltonian...
