In this paper, the analytic solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is obtained for the wave packet in two-dimensional oscillator potential. The quantum dynamics of the wave packet is investigated based on this analytic solution. To our knowledge, this is the first time we solve, analytically and exactly this kind of time-dependent Schrödinger equation in a two-dimensional system, in which the Gaussian parameters satisfy the coupled nonlinear differential equations. The coherent states and their rotations of the system are discussed in detail. We find also that this analytic solution includes four kinds of modes of the evolutions for the wave packets: rigid, rotational, vibrational states and a combination of the rotation and vibration without spreading.

Recently, Kieu proposed a new class of time-energy uncertainty relations for time-dependent Hamiltonians, which is not only formal but also useful for actually evaluating the speed limit of quantum dynamics. Inspired by this work, Okuyama and Ohzeki obtained a similar speed limit for the imaginary-time Schrödinger equation. In this paper, we refine the latter one to make it be further like that of Kieu formally. As in the work of Kieu, only the initial states and the Hamiltonians, but neither the instantaneous eigenstates nor the full time-dependent wave like functions, which would demand a full solution for a time-dependent system, are required for our optimized speed limit. It turns out to be more helpful for estimating the speed limit of an actual quantum annealing driven by the imaginary-time Schrödinger equation. For certain case, the refined speed limit given here becomes the only useful tool to do this estimation, because the one given by Okuyama and Ohzeki cannot do the same job.

This chapter focuses on the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and its solutions for several prototype systems. It provides the basis for discussing and understanding quantum dynamics in condensed phases, however, a full picture can be obtained only by including also dynamical processes that destroy the quantum mechanical phase. Such a full description of quantum dynamics cannot be handled by the Schrödinger equation alone; a more general approach based on the quantum Liouville equation is needed. This important part of the theory of quantum dynamics is discussed in Chapter 10. Given a system characterized by a Hamiltonian Ĥ , the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is For a closed, isolated system Ĥ is time independent; time dependence in the Hamiltonian enters via effect of time-dependent external forces. Here we focus on the earlier case. Equation (1) is a first-order linear differential equation that can be solved as an initial value problem.
