AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a time-dependent Hamiltonian given by H(q,p,t) = g(t)(p²/(2m) + kq²/2), with two forms of g(t) to solve: e^t and cos(gt). The user expresses frustration as their textbook only covers conserved Hamiltonians and there are no class notes on time-dependent Hamiltonians. They seek guidance on how to approach the problem, particularly with the Hamilton-Jacobi equations. Ultimately, the user indicates they have resolved the issue independently. Understanding time-dependent Hamiltonians is crucial for tackling such problems effectively.

Homework Statement



I have a question given to me by my prof that is a time dependent Hamiltonian

H(q,p,t) = g(t)(p2/(2m) + kq2/2)

where f(t) has 2 different forms i need to solve

1) eat 2) cos(gt)

problem is goldstein only covers conserved hamiltonians in chapter 10 for the H-J equations and we have no notes in the class about them. My prof doesn't like to answer questions?

Can someone give me some insight how to deal with the time dependent function?

Homework Equations



H(q, ∂S/∂q , t) + ∂S/∂t = 0 i think... but like i said no material on the time dependance

it's all right i figured it out

(Disclaimer: this is not a HW question. I am self-studying, and this felt like the type of question I've seen in this forum. If there is somewhere better for me to share this doubt, please let me know and I'll transfer it right away.) I am currently reviewing Chapter 7 of Introduction to QM by Griffiths. I have been stuck for an hour or so trying to understand the last paragraph of this proof (pls check the attached file). It claims that we can express Ψ_{γ}(0) as a linear combination of...
