Consider a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator, in an energy eigenstate initially (at t=t0), to which we apply a time dependent force F(t). Write the Heisenberg equations of motion for x and for p. Now suppose F is a constant from time t0 to time t0+τ(tau), and zero the rest of the time. Find the average position of the oscillator <x(t)> as a function of time, after the force is switched off. Find the average amount of work done by the force,...
