Abstract

We consider a quantum particle in a 1D infinite square potential well with variable length. It is a nonlinear control system in which the state is the wave function ϕ of the particle and the control is the length l(t) of the potential well. We prove the following controllability result : given $\phi_{0}$ close enough to an eigenstate corresponding to the length l = 1 and $\phi_{f}$ close enough to another eigenstate corresponding to the length l=1, there exists a continuous function $l:[0,T] \rightarrow \mathbb{R}^{*}_{+}$ with T > 0, such that l(0) = 1 and l(T) = 1, and which moves the wave function from $\phi_{0}$ to $\phi_{f}$ in time T.In particular, we can move the wave function from one eigenstate to another one by acting on the length of the potential well in a suitable way.Our proof relies on local controllability results proved with moment theory, a Nash-Moser implicit function theorem and expansions to the second order.
