Abstract
In this work the evolution of a wavefunction in an infinite potential well with time dependent boundaries is investigated. Previous methods for wells with walls moving at a constant velocity are summarised. These methods are extended to wells with slowly accelerating walls. The location and time of the revivals in the well of the initial wavefunction are derived using Jacobi's elliptic theta function.
