Abstract

Following a recent work by Robnik and Romanovski (J.Phys.A: Math.Gen. {\bf 39} (2006) L35, Open Syst. & Infor. Dyn. {\bf 13} (2006) 197-222) we derive the explicit formula for the universal distribution function of the final energies in a time-dependent 1D harmonic oscillator, whose functional form does not depend on the details of the frequency ω(t)\omega (t), and is closely related to the conservation of the adiabatic invariant. The normalized distribution function is P(x)=π1(2μ2x2)1/2P(x) = \pi^{-1} (2\mu^2 - x^2)^{-{1/2}}, where x=E1E1ˉx=E_1- \bar{E_1}, E1E_1 is the final energy, E1ˉ\bar{E_1} is its average value, and μ2\mu^2 is the variance of E1E_1. E1ˉ\bar{E_1} and μ2\mu^2 can be calculated exactly using the WKB approach to all orders.
