Detailed Description

Provides services for dealing with frequency-like parameters, both real and complex, for all elements, frees and interactions alike, which are hence all derived from this class.

Such parameters need a special treatment because every such parameter from all the subsystems (either frees or interactions) of the given physical system has to be considered as a possible largest frequency of the whole system. This largest frequency is needed for determining the initial time-step of the ODE routine.

On the other hand, these parameters (together with all other, non-frequency-like parameters) have to be communicated towards the user when the framework summarizes the parameters of a given run. Therefore, for each such parameter, the class stores not only the value, but also the name of the parameter, plus another real number which multiplies the value of the named frequency, to give the actual frequency as appearing in the ODE.

An example will make this clear. Consider the Hamiltonian of a free mode:

\[\omega a^\dagger a.\]

In this case, the parameter supplied by the user is $\omega$, but the largest frequency appearing in the ODE is actually this times the dimension of the system (the cutoff of the Fock space). Hence, the tuple stored by the class for this particular frequency-like parameter will be something like:
