Autoionizing Rydberg wave packets
Physical Review A, 1996In this paper we present some of the general features of autoionizing Rydberg wave packets. We assume the wave packets are generated by a short, perturbative laser pulse that excites the electronic wave function to a coherent distribution of final state energies in the autoionizing regime.

Nondispersing Bohr Wave Packets
Physical Review Letters, 2009Long-lived, nondispersing circular, or Bohr, wave packets are produced starting from Li Rydberg atoms by exposing them first to a linearly polarized microwave field at the orbital frequency, 17.6 GHz at principal quantum number n=72, which locks the electron's motion into an approximately linear orbit in which the electron oscillates in phase with the ...

We show that for a wave ψ in the form of an Airy function the probability density ‖ψ‖2 propagates in free space without distortion and with constant acceleration. This ’’Airy packet’’ corresponds classically to a family of orbits represented by a parabola in phase space; under the classical motion this parabola translates rigidly, and the fact that no ...

Physical Review A, 2008
In this paper we analyze the entanglement of superpositions of coherent states via a harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian that is quadratic in the interaction between the particles and symmetric with respect to particle exchange. Quantum superpositions of coherent states are commonly referred to as “Schrodinger cat states” 1.

Wave packets in minisuperspace
Physical Review D, 1988Wave packets in minisuperspace of quantum gravity are explicitly constructed for a Friedmann model containing either a massless or a massive homogeneous scalar field. Unparametrized tubelike standing waves corresponding to classically returning paths in configuration space can be constructed if a ``final condition'' with respect to the scale factor a ...

Physical Review B, 1980
The time-dependent Schroedinger equation is integrated numerically to obtain the time evolution of an initially Gaussian packet in the presence of Eckart, truncated quadratic, and untruncated quadratic potentials. Potential and packet parameters are chosen with hydrogen interstitials in transition metals in mind and are varied over significant ranges ...

Heisenberg's Contracting Wave Packets
American Journal of Physics, 1959The discontinuous contraction of a wave packet preceded and followed by a continuous expansion controlled by Schrödinger's equation is a much discussed difficulty in the quantum theory of measurement. It is shown to rest on a mistaken interpretation of Schrödinger's equation as a “process equation” and on two different usages of the word “state,” first

Harmonic Oscillator Wave Packets
American Journal of Physics, 1959Time-dependent operators are used to find harmonic oscillator wave packets which oscillate without change in shape. The results are in agreement with those of Senitzky and others. Some useful averages are computed for these packets and some comments are made on the classical limit.
