Harmonic Oscillators and Two-by-two Matrices in Symmetry Problems in Physicsby Young Suh Kim (ed.) - MDPI AG
With a degree of exaggeration, modern physics is the physics of harmonic oscillators and two-by-two matrices. Indeed, they constitute the basic language for the symmetry problems in physics, and thus the main theme of this journal.
