• Title: Point transformations: exact solutions of the quantum time-dependent mass nonstationary oscillator
• Authors: Kevin Zelaya, V\'eronique Hussin
• Abstract summary: We address the exact solutions of a time-dependent Hamiltonian composed by an oscillator-like interaction with both a frequency and a mass term that depend on time. The latter is achieved by constructing the appropriate point transformation such that it deforms the Schr"odinger equation of a stationary oscillator into the one of the time-dependent model. This property leads to a straightforward way to determine constants of motion without requiring to use ansatz.

• Abstract: In this note we address the exact solutions of a time-dependent Hamiltonian composed by an oscillator-like interaction with both a frequency and a mass term that depend on time. The latter is achieved by constructing the appropriate point transformation such that it deforms the Schr\"odinger equation of a stationary oscillator into the one of the time-dependent model. Thus, the solutions of the latter can be seen as deformations of the well known solutions of the stationary oscillator, and thus an orthogonal set of solutions can be determined in a straightforward way. The latter is possible since the inner product structure is preserved by the point transformation. Also, any invariant operator of the stationary oscillator is transformed into an invariant of the time-dependent model. This property leads to a straightforward way to determine constants of motion without requiring to use ansatz.

  We show how a laser driven two-level system can be decoupled into a set of equations acting only on the external degrees of freedom for each state. We give a way of characterizing the solvability of this family of problems by appealing to a classical oscillator with time-dependent damping. We show that chirping of the driving fields phase emerges naturally as a means of compensating the Ehrenfest/mean-value part of the detuning operator's dynamics.

  The free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket is a problem commonly discussed in undergraduate quantum classes. We provide an alternative way to calculate the free expansion by recognizing that the Gaussian wavepacket can be thought of as the ground state of a harmonic oscillator. As quantum instruction evolves to include more quantum information science applications, reworking this well known problem using a squeezing formalism will help students develop intuition for how squeezed states are used in quantum sensing.
