Abstract

We consider the one-dimensional quantum harmonic oscillator perturbed by a linear operator which is a polynomial of degree 2 in \((x,-\mathrm{i}\partial _x)\), with coefficients quasi-periodically depending on time. By establishing the reducibility results, we describe the growth of Sobolev norms. In particular, the \(t^{2s}\)-polynomial growth of \({\mathcal H}^s\)-norm is observed in this model if the original time quasi-periodic equation is reduced to a constant Stark Hamiltonian.

Notes

  1. The “closed interval” here is interpreted in a more general sense, i.e., it can be degenerated to a point instead of a positive-measure subset of \(\mathbb {R}\).

  2. \(\tilde{\Lambda }_k\) is defined as an empty set if the closed interval \(\rho ^{-1}\left( \frac{\langle k,\omega \rangle }{2}\right) \) does not intersect \(\overline{\mathcal {I}}\).
