Exact Solution of a Quantum Forced Time-Dependent Harmonic Oscillator

Abstract

The Schrodinger equation is used to exactly evaluate the propagator, wave function, energy expectation values, uncertainty values and coherent state for a harmonic oscillator with a time-dependent frequency and an external driving time-dependent force. These quantities represent the solution of the classical equation of motion for the time-dependent harmonic oscillator.
