Quantum dynamics in potentials with fast spatial oscillations

Abstract: We consider quantum dynamics of systems with fast spatial modulation of the Hamiltonian. Employing the formalism of supersymmetric quantum mechanics and decoupling fast and slow spatial oscillations we demonstrate that the effective dynamics is governed by a Schrödinger-like equation of motion and obtain the expression of the resulting effective Hamiltonian. In particular, we show that there exists an attractive effective potential even in the case when the oscillating potential averages to zero.

“…(1a)). As pointed out in [27], a quantum particle evolving in a potential with a periodic spatial modulation experiences an attractive effect in comparison to a constant one with the same average value. The reason is that, although the modulation urally increases the kinetic energy due to a coupling to high momentum states, the resultant modulation of the wavefunction, with maxima localized at the minima of the trap, causes a stronger reduction of the potential energy.…”
