Abstract We study the eigenstate problem of a two-coupled oscillator system. A new entangled state representation $\left\vert \gamma \right\rangle $ composed of the common eigenvectors of operators $% (x_{1}+p_{2})$ and $(p_{1}+x_{2})$ is established. Eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian are obtained in $\left\vert \gamma \right\rangle $ representations. The same problem is studied in the second-quantization representation. We find that the second-quantization representation can be used to derive the normally ordered product expression of eigenvector in Fock space. In particular, we find that the ground state of the Hamiltonian is a kind of generalized two-mode squeezed state.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
