Abstract
A non-commutative harmonic oscillator (NCHO for short) is the Weyl-quantization a w(x,D) of an N × N system of the form a(x,ξ) = a2(x,ξ)+a0, (x,ξ ) ε \( \mathbb{R}^n \times \mathbb{R}^n = T^\ast \mathbb{R}^n \), where a2(x,ξ ) is an N×N matrix whose entries are homogeneous polynomials of degree 2 in the (x,ξ ) variables, and a 0 is a constant N×N matrix. In other words, a NCHO is the Weyl-quantization of a matrix-valued quadratic form in (x,ξ ), plus a constant matrix term.
