Time reversal for modified oscillators

Abstract: We consider a new completely integrable case of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in $\mathbb R^n$ with variable coefficients for a modified oscillator that is dual (with respect to time reversal) to a model of the quantum oscillator. We find a second pair of dual Hamiltonians in the momentum representation. The examples considered show that in mathematical physics and quantum mechanics, a change in the time direction may require a total change of the system dynamics to return the system to its original quantum state. We obtain particular solutions of the corresponding nonlinear Schrödinger equations. We also consider a Hamiltonian structure of the classical integrable problem and its quantization.

Keywords: Cauchy initial value problem, Schrödinger equation with variable coefficients, Green's function, propagator, time reversal, hyperspherical harmonic, nonlinear Schrödinger equation.
