Abstract

Details of the revival structure arising from the different time scales, underlying the quadratic energy spectrum, are investigated using the binomial distribution of the weighting probabilities involved in the autocorrelation function. Exact analytical expressions are derived to explain the dependence of the autocorrelation function on the number of discrete energy levels appearing in the Morse potential. The perfect revival time is determined for this potential.
