Quantum mechanics asserts that a wave packet must inevitably spread as time progresses since the dispersion relation for the quantum waves is assumed to be quadratic in the momentum k. However, this assumption does not consider the standard…
We present a method to find asymptotics for the evolution of coherent states (or Gaussian wavepackets with standard deviation $\sqrt{h}$) under semiclassical Schr\"odinger's equation for a given Hamiltonian. These results extend the work of…

We study non-relativistic propagation of Gaussian wave packets in one-dimensional Eckart potential, a barrier, or a well. In the picture used, the transmitted wave packet results from interference between the copies of the freely…
We study the semiclassical propagation of squeezed Gau{\ss}ian states. We do so by considering the propagation theorem introduced by Combescure and Robert \cite{CR97} approximating the evolution generated by the Weyl-quantization of symbols…
An exact solution of the homogeneous wave equation, which was found previously, is treated from the point of view of continuous wavelet analysis (CWA). If time is a fixed parameter, the solution represents a new multidimensional mother…
With the exception of the harmonic oscillator, quantum wave-packets usually spread as time evolves. We show here that, using the nonlinear resonance between an internal frequency of a system and an external periodic driving, it is possible…
