Abstract

We study some solutions of the Schrodinger equation, \( i \frac{\theta u}{\theta t}= H(t)u\) where \( H (.)\) is a periodic time-dependent Hamiltonian acting on a Hilbert space \( H \).We prove sojourn time estimates, first by means of an extension of the energy time Uncertainty Principle, and then, for a specific model by explicit computations.
