Abstract
The problem of characterizing stability and instability for general nonstationary quantum systems is investigated. Some characterizations are reported and some elementary properties of a topological characterization are established. Then, it is proven, by considering a simple example, that there are nonperiodic driven systems whose orbits are neither precompact nor leave on average any compact set. Autocorrelation measures are computed and the possible roles of the generalizes quasienergy operator and energy growth are briefly discussed.
