Bound Eigenstate dynamics under a sudden shift of the well's wall

Quantum Physics 2010-11-22 v1

Abstract

We investigate the dynamics of the eigenstate of an infinite well under an abrupt shift of the well's wall. It is shown that when the shift is small compared to the initial well's dimensions, the short time behavior changes from the well known t^(3/2) behavior to t^(1/2) . It is also shown that the complete dynamical picture converges to a universal function, which has fractal structure with dimensionality D=1.25.
