Quantum dynamics in a time-dependent hard-wall spherical trap
Department of Physics, The University of Qom - P. O. Box 37165, Qom, Iran
Received: 10 June 2012
Accepted: 12 July 2012
Exact solution of the Schrödinger equation is given for a particle inside a hard sphere whose wall is moving with a constant velocity. Numerical computations are presented for both contracting and expanding spheres. The propagator is constructed and compared with the propagator of a particle in an infinite square well with one wall in uniform motion.
