Level repulsion

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Level repulsion is the quantum mechanical equivalent to a repulsion effect in oscillators.[1] A system of two coupled oscillators has two natural frequencies. As the coupling strength between the oscillators increases, the lower frequency decreases and the higher increases.[2]
