Title: The periodically driven electron in a quantum well with two characteristic curvatures -- redux
Authors: Rafael Bautista-Mena
Abstract summary: I develop the solution to the problem of an electron confined in a composite quadratic well subject to a simple, external periodic force. The method of solution illustrates several of the basic techniques useful in formally solving the one-dimensional, time-dependent Schrodinger equation.

Abstract: I develop the solution to the problem of an electron confined in a composite quadratic well subject to a simple, external periodic force. The method of solution illustrates several of the basic techniques useful in formally solving the one-dimensional, time-dependent Schrodinger equation. One of the aims of this exercise is to see how far is it possible to push analytics, before plowing into numerical methods. I hope this presentation of the problem may result useful to others seeking to gain additional experience in the details of solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation in one space dimension.

Free expansion of a Gaussian wavepacket using operator manipulations [77.34726150561087]
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.

The Half Transform Ansatz: Quarkonium Dynamics in Quantum Phase Space [0.0]
We present a method to cast the Schrodinger Equation into a hyper-geometric form which can be solved for the phase space wave function and its energy eigenvalues. We also analyze the behavior of these wave functions, which suggest a correlation between radial momentum and the upper limit of existence in charm-anticharm mesons.

We describe for the first time how to implement shortcuts to adiabaticity in quantum field theory. The shortcuts take place whenever there is no dynamical Casimir effect. We obtain a fundamental limit for the efficiency of an Otto cycle with the quantum field as a working system.

Quantum Simulation of 2D Quantum Chemistry in Optical Lattices [59.89454513692418]
We propose an analog simulator for discrete 2D quantum chemistry models based on cold atoms in optical lattices. We first analyze how to simulate simple models, like the discrete versions of H and H$+$, using a single fermionic atom. We then show that a single bosonic atom can mediate an effective Coulomb repulsion between two fermions, leading to the analog of molecular Hydrogen in two dimensions.
