Question:

Consider a particle bound in a simple harmonic-oscillator potential. Initially (t < 0), it is in the ground state. At t = 0 a perturbation of the form

is switched on. Using time-dependent perturbation theory, calculate the probability that after a sufficiently long time (t ≫ τ), the system will have made a transition to a given excited state. Consider all final states.
