Abstract

The quantum dynamics of a charged particle in a harmonic trap in the presence of discontinuous reversals of a homogeneous or an inhomogeneous electric field is studied. The dynamics reveals classically expected patterns in harmonic wells. In a symmetric double-well potential, the discontinuously switched low intensity homogeneous electric field does not appear to assist tunneling, whereas an inhomogeneous electric field is found to assist the process. Resonance like enhancement is noticed at a critical reversal frequency. Dynamics in a triple well is also analyzed under similar conditions.
