On form-preserving transformations for the time-dependent Schrodinger equation

In this paper we point out a close connection between the Darboux transformation and the group of point transformations which preserve the form of the time-dependent Schroumldinger equation (TDSE). In our main result, we prove that any pair of time-dependent real potentials related by a Darboux tran...

Sumario:In this paper we point out a close connection between the Darboux transformation and the group of point transformations which preserve the form of the time-dependent Schroumldinger equation (TDSE). In our main result, we prove that any pair of time-dependent real potentials related by a Darboux transformation for the TDSE may be transformed by a suitable point transformation into a pair of time-independent potentials related by a usual Darboux transformation for the stationary Schroumldinger equation. Thus, any (real) potential solvable via a time-dependent Darboux transformation can alternatively be solved by applying an appropriate form-preserving point transformation of the TDSE to a time-independent potential. The pre-eminent role of the latter type of transformations in the solution of the TDSE is illustrated with a family of quasi-exactly solvable time-dependent anharmonic potentials.
