FIG. 2. Color a Switching-path distribution in a parametrically driven microelectromechanical oscillator. The probability distribution p12 X ,Y is measured for switching out of state A1 into state A2. b The peak locations of the distribution are plotted as black circles and the theoretical most probable switching path is indicated by the red line. All trajectories originate from within the green circle in the vicinity of A1 and later arrive at the green circle around A2. The portion of the distribution outside the blue lines is omitted.
