Talk Abstract
The Interaction of Classical and Quantum Oscillators with Fields

In this talk I shall discuss aspects of the dynamics of harmonic oscillators interacting with fields. In particular I shall consider effective damping and, in the case of gyroscopically stabilized oscillators, induced instability. I shall also consider classical and quantum squeezing of oscillators by laser pulses and the effect on squeezing of such a system in contact with a heat bath. This is joint work with P. Hagerty, M. Weinstein, and with A. Rojo.
