Question:

A one-dimensional harmonic oscillator is in its ground state for t

(a) Using time-dependent perturbation theory to first order, obtain the probability of finding the oscillator in its first excited state for t > 0. Show that the t → ∞ (τ finite) limit of your expression is independent of time. Is this reasonable or surprising?

(b) Can we find higher excited states? You may useimage
