A particle of charge q and mass m is bound in the ground state of a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator potential with frequency oo. At time t-0 a weak spatially uniform electric field (E) is turned on, so that the perturbation to the Hamiltonian can be described as R'(t) =-q Exe-t/t for t> 0. Using first order, time-dependent perturbation theory, calculate the following probabilities: (a) the particle is detected in the first excited state after a very long time (t »...
