In this work, we provide an answer to the question: how sudden or adiabatic is a change in the frequency of a quantum harmonic oscillator (HO)? To do this, we investigate the behavior of a HO, initially in its fundamental state, by making a frequency transition that we can control how fast it occurs. The resulting state of the system is shown to be a vacuum squeezed state in two bases related by Bogoliubov transformations. We characterize the time evolution of the squeezing parameter in both bases and discuss its relation with adiabaticity by changing the rate of the frequency transition from sudden to adiabatic. Finally, we obtain an analytical approximate expression that relates squeezing to the transition rate as well as the initial and final frequencies. Our results shed some light on subtleties and common inaccuracies in the literature related to the interpretation of the adiabatic theorem for this system.

Using Schwinger Variational Principle we solve the problem of quantum harmonic oscillator with time dependent frequency. Here, we do not take the usual approach which implicitly assumes an adiabatic behavior for the frequency. Instead, we propose a n ew solution where the frequency only needs continuity in its first derivative or to have a finite set of removable discontinuities.
Using operator ordering techniques based on BCH-like relations of the su(1,1) Lie algebra and a time-splitting approach,we present an alternative method of solving the dynamics of a time-dependent quantum harmonic oscillator for any initial state. We find an iterative analytical solution given by simple recurrence relations that are very well suited for numerical calculations. We use our solution to reproduce and analyse some results from literature in order to prove the usefulness of the method and, based on these references, we discuss efficiency in squeezing, when comparing the parametric resonance modulation and the Janszky-Adam scheme.
We show how a single trapped ion may be used to test a variety of important physical models realized as time-dependent harmonic oscillators. The ion itself functions as its own motional detector through laser-induced electronic transitions. Alsing et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 220401 (2005)] proposed that an exponentially decaying trap frequency could be used to simulate (thermal) Gibbons-Hawking radiation in an expanding universe, but the Hamiltonian used was incorrect. We apply our general solution to this experimental proposal, correcting the result for a single ion and showing that while the actual spectrum is different from the Gibbons-Hawking case, it nevertheless shares an important experimental signature with this result.

Uncertainties $(Delta x)^2$ and $(Delta p)^2$ are analytically derived in an $N$-coupled harmonic oscillator system when spring and coupling constants are arbitrarily time-dependent and each oscillator is in an arbitrary excited state. When $N = 2$, those uncertainties are shown as just arithmetic average of uncertainties of two single harmonic oscillators. We call this property as sum rule of quantum uncertainty. However, this arithmetic average property is not generally maintained when $N geq 3$, but it is recovered in $N$-coupled oscillator systems if and only if $(N-1)$ quantum numbers are equal. The generalization of our results to a more general quantum system is briefly discussed.
The solution of the Feinberg-Horodecki (FH) equation for a time-dependent mass (TDM) harmonic oscillator quantum system is studied. A certain interaction is applied to a mass to provide a particular spectrum of stationary energies. The related spectr um of the harmonic oscillator potential acting on the TDM oscillators is found. We apply the time version of the asymptotic iteration method (AIM) to calculate analytical expressions of the TDM stationary state energies and their wave functions. It is shown that the obtained solutions reduce to those of simple harmonic oscillator as the time-dependent of the mass reduces to
