We consider a quantum two-level system in bichromatic classical time-periodic fields, the frequency of one of which far exceeds that of the other. Based on systematic separation of timescales and averaging over the fast motion a reduced quantum dynamics in the form of a nonlinear forced Mathieu equation is derived to identify the stable oscillatory resonance zones intercepted by unstable zones in the frequency-amplitude plot. We show how this forcing of the dressed two-level system may generate the subharmonics and superharmonics of the weak field in the stable region, which can be amplified by optimization of the strength of the high frequency field. We have carried out detailed numerical simulations of the driven quantum dynamics to corroborate the theoretical analysis.

Inspired by the fact that flying insects improve their power conversion efficiency through resonance, many soft robots driven by dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have achieved optimal performance via first-order modal resonance. Besides first-order resonance, DEAs contribute to multiple innovative functions such as pumps that can make sounds when using multimodal resonances. This study presents the multimodal resonance of a rectangular planar DEA (RPDEA) with a central mass bias.

Acoustics of bubbles is quite developed field mainly due to multiple cavitation-related ultrasonic applications in liquids. New applications, which require detailed studies of ultrasound encounter with bubble in solid materials, have become apparent recently and are concerned with detectability of porosity in advanced solid materials based on layered technology, like composite and additive manufactured structures. To elucidate the transition from liquids to solids the present paper starts from theoretical similarity between both and proceeds to experimental study of the resonance acoustic effects of air bubbles in epoxy resin.

We consider a system formed by two different segments of particles, coupled to thermal baths, one at each end, modeled by Langevin thermostats. The particles in each segment interact harmonically and are subject to an on-site potential for which three different types are considered, namely, harmonic, ϕ^{4}, and Frenkel-Kontorova. The two segments are nonlinearly coupled, between interfacial particles, by means of a power-law potential with exponent μ, which we vary, scanning from subharmonic to superharmonic potentials, up to the infinite-square-well limit (μ→∞).

While brain stimulation therapies such as deep brain stimulation for Parkinson's disease (PD) can be effective, they have yet to reach their full potential across neurological disorders. Entraining neuronal rhythms using rhythmic brain stimulation has been suggested as a new therapeutic mechanism to restore neurotypical behaviour in conditions such as chronic pain, depression, and Alzheimer's disease. However, theoretical and experimental evidence indicate that brain stimulation can also entrain neuronal rhythms at sub- and super-harmonics, far from the stimulation frequency.
