The quantum stability problem for some class of time-dependent Hamiltonians (Q1109236): Difference between revisions

Suitable scaling for the time-dependent Schrödinger equation allows reduction of various types of time-dependent Schrödinger hamiltonians to the quantum dynamics of the harmonic oscillator. Therefore perturbing any of these time-dependent hamiltonians amounts to perturbing the harmonic oscillator's hamiltonian by suitable time-dependent perturbations. The particular case of time-periodic perturbations of the harmonic oscillator is then considered with regard to the ``quantum stability problem''. Quantum stability results are obtained, away from some resonant set of Lebesgue measure smaller than \(\epsilon\) (any \(\epsilon)\), provided a suitable norm of the perturbation is dominated by \(C\epsilon\) (some constant C).
