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.

Charged Particle Motion

We consider wave packet propagation in mesoscopic quantum systems. A number of approaches are compared to look at the general solution of a time-dependent Schrödinger equation and the validity of the Ehrenfest theorem. Detailed calculations are presented to illustrate the results of a charged particle motion in the time-dependent systems, and show that the Ehrenfest theorem is not directly applicable in topologically nontrivial systems.

This introductory chapter considers first the relation between molecular reaction dynamics and the major branches of physical chemistry. The concept of elementary chemical reactions at the quantized state-to-state level is discussed. The theoretical description of these reactions based on the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and the Born–Oppenheimer approximation is introduced and the resulting time-dependent Schrödinger equation describing the nuclear dynamics is discussed. The chapter concludes with a brief discussion of matter at thermal equilibrium, focusing at the Boltzmann distribution. Thus, the Boltzmann distribution for vibrational, rotational, and translational degrees of freedom is discussed and illustrated.
