Abstract
The quantum theory of the harmonic oscillator is of particular importance for many reasons. In fact, harmonic forces are often present in nature and even more often used as model systems. Small oscillations about a point of stable equilibrium are described as independent harmonic oscillators, as we have seen in sect. 1.5. Most important, the theory of the harmonic oscillator introduces a formalism, through creation and annihilation operators, that is very frequently used in all fields of modern theoretical physics.
