Physics of The Double Pendulum: http://www.theorphys.science.ru.nl/pe...

Neutral particle oscillation (like neutrino oscillation) is a superposition effect, and a similar effect can also be seen in a coupled double pendulum system where the interaction states are in superpositions of the "free" modes (called eigenstates).
