Abstract

In this work, we study the Schr\"odinger equation itψ=Δψ+η(t)j=1Jδx=aj(t)ψi\partial_t\psi=-\Delta\psi+\eta(t)\sum_{j=1}^J\delta_{x=a_j(t)}\psi on L2((0,1),C)L^2((0,1),C) where η:[0,T]R+\eta:[0,T]\longrightarrow R^+ and aj:[0,T](0,1)a_j:[0,T]\longrightarrow (0,1), j=1,...,Jj=1,...,J. We show how to permute the energy associated to different eigenmodes of the Schr\"odinger equation via suitable choice of the functions η\eta and aja_j. To the purpose, we mime the control processes introduced in [17] for a very similar equation where the Dirac potential is replaced by a smooth approximation supported in a neighborhood of x=a(t)x=a(t). We also propose a Galerkin approximation that we prove to be convergent and illustrate the control process with some numerical simulations.
