It motivated the definition of the ampere in the 2019 redefinition of the SI base units

Good NIST articles about it: (archive)

TODO confirm, see also: coupled oscillators. And then this idea can be used to define/motivate quantum field theory in terms of quantum harmonic oscillators with second quantization.
