Time evolution and the Schrödinger equation on time dependent quantum graphs *

Uzy Smilansky, Gilad Sofer

Abstract The purpose of the present paper is to discuss the time dependent Schrödinger equation on a metric graph with time-dependent edge lengths, and the proper way to pose the problem so that the corresponding time evolution is unitary. We show that the well posedness of the Schrödinger equation can be guaranteed by replacing the standard Kirchhoff Laplacian with a magnetic Schrödinger operator with a harmonic potential. We then generalize the result to time dependent families of vertex conditions. We also apply the theory to show the existence of a geometric phase associated with a slowly changing quantum graph.

Time-dependent metric graph: Wave dynamics

Антон Юрьевич Попов, I. Yu. Popov, D S Nikiforov +1 more

We consider a metric graph under the assumption that lengths of its edges vary in time. The dynamics of waves of different nature on the graph is compared. We investigate classical waves governed by wave equation, non-relativistic quantum (Schrödinger) particles and relativistic (Dirac) particles. Star like graph and graph with a loop are considered.

Quantum Dynamics

Uri Peskin

Explicitly time-dependent Hamiltonians are ubiquitous in applications of quantum theory. It is therefore necessary to solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation directly. The system’s dynamics is associated with a unitary time-evolution operator (a propagator), formally given as an infinite Dyson series. Time-dependent observables are invariant under unitary time-dependent transformations, where it is sometimes useful to transform the time-evolution from the states into the corresponding operators. This is carried out in part (in full) by transforming to the interaction (Heisenberg) picture. The corresponding equations of motion for the time-dependent operators are introduced. For quadratic potential energy functions, the time evolution of quantum expectation values coincides with the corresponding classical dynamics. This is demonstrated and analyzed in detail for Gaussian wave packets and a coherent state. Finally, we derive exact and approximate expressions for time-dependent transition probabilities and transition rates between quantum states. The validity of time-dependent perturbation theory is analyzed by comparison to exact dynamics.
