First, in subsection 4.1.1,
from the numerical methods discussed in chapter
3 that method that is best suited to the present
study is finally identified:
the algorithm
using the propagator in the eigenrepresentation of the
harmonic oscillator, as discussed in section 3.3.
This method is then used to generate,
for several initial states
and
for a number of different values of the parameters
,
and
,
long time series of quantum states
.
These states are analyzed in terms of
patterns in quantum phase space (subsection 4.1.1)
and energy growth (subsection 4.1.2).
