quantum mechanics - Pressure in Harmonic Oscillation


Classical Harmonic oscillator's energy depends on temperature as it equals $k_B$$T/2$. However, quantum harmonic oscillator energy is $(n+1/2)hf$. So, when T=0, quantum predicts motion.

I have been wondering what would happen if there is change in pressure? If the pressure is changed, does the quantum and classical prediction differ?

Understanding Stagnation point in pitot fluid

What is stagnation point in fluid mechanics. At the open end of the pitot tube the velocity of the fluid becomes zero.But that should result...
