Abstract
By using a test-function method, we construct exact solutions of a quantum harmonic oscillator with a time-dependent "spring constant". Any -th solution describes a wave-packet train consisting of packets. Its center oscillates like the classically harmonic oscillator with variable frequency, and width and highness of each packet change simultaneously. When the deformation is small, it behaves like a soliton train, and the large deformation is identified with collapse and revival of the wave-packet train.
