Abstract

The solution of the Schrodinger equation with a linear potential is considered. We use algebraic methods to obtain the explicit form of the solution for the explicitly time dependent Hamiltonian and discuss the general conditions which allow us to get solutions in terms of the Airy functions, yelding non spreading wave packets. We analyze the relevant physical meaning of these solutions and give examples of their applications. We discuss the analogy between Airy and Gauss-Weirestrass transform.
