We discuss the quantum theory of an harmonic oscillator with time-dependent mass and frequency submitted to action of a complex time-dependent linear potential with [Formula: see text] symmetry. Combining the Lewis and Riesenfeld approach to time-dependent non-Hermitian Hamiltonians having [Formula: see text] symmetry and linear invariants, we solve the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for this problem and use the corresponding quantum states to construct a Gaussian wave packet solution. We show that the shape of this wave packet does not depend on the driving force. Afterwards, using this wave packet state, we calculate the expectation values of the position and momentum, their fluctuations and the associated uncertainty product. We find that these expectation values are complex numbers and as a consequence the position and momentum operators are not physical observables and the uncertainty product is physically unacceptable.

In this contribution, we discuss quantum effects on relic gravitons described by the Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) spacetime background by reducing the problem to that of a generalized time-dependent harmonic oscillator, and find the corresponding Schrödinger states with the help of the dynamical invariant method. Then, by considering a quadratic time-dependent invariant operator, we show that we can obtain the geometric phases and squeezed quantum states for this system. Furthermore, we also show that we can construct Gaussian wave packet states by considering a linear time-dependent invariant operator. In both cases, we also discuss the uncertainty product for each mode of the quantized field.

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.
