We consider a quantum particle under the dynamical confinement caused by PT-symmetric box with a moving wall. The latter is described in terms of the time-dependent Schr\"{o}dinger equation obeying the time-dependent PT-symmetric boundary conditions. The class of the functions, describing time-dependence of the wall's position and keeping the system as PT-symmetric is found. Physically observable characteristics, such as average kinetic energy and the average quantum force are calculated as a function of time. Also, geometric phase is calculated for the harmonically oscillating wall regime. Experimental realization of the proposed model is discussed.

Quantum dynamics of a Dirac particle in a 1D box with moving wall is studied. Dirac equation with time-dependent boundary condition is mapped onto that with static one, but with time-dependent mass. Exact analytical solution of such modified Dirac equation is obtained for massless particle. For massive particle the problem is solved numerically. Time-dependences of the main characteristics of the dynamical confinement, such as average kinetic energy and quantum force are analyzed. It is found that the average kinetic energy remains bounded for the interval length bounded from below, in particular for the periodically oscillating wall.

Quantum dynamics of a particle confined in a box with time-dependent wall is revisited by considering some unexplored aspects of the problem. In particular, the case of dynamical confinement in a time-dependent box in the presence of purely time-varying external potential is treated by obtaining exact solution. Also, some external potentials approving separation of space and time variables in the Schrodinger equation with time-dependent boundary conditions are classified. Time-dependence of the average kinetic energy and average quantum force are analyzed. A model for optical high harmonic generation in the presence of dynamical confinement and external linearly polarized monochromatic field is proposed.

We consider optical high harmonic generation in a hydrogen atom confined in a breathing spherical box by considering atomic nucleus as fixed at the center of sphere. In such spherically symmetric, dynamical trap, the high harmonic generation spectrum is calculated at different values of the oscillation amplitude, confinement size and atomic nucleus charge., Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1703.04945

We consider optical harmonic generation in time-dependent box driven by external time-periodic field. Two types of the external field is considered: Time-periodic optical field and a field created by harmonically oscillating wall of the box. The latter is treated on in terms of the Schrodinger equation with time-dependent boundary conditions.

We study quantum particle dynamics in a box and driven by PT-symmetric, delta-kicking complex potential. Such dynamical characteristics as the average kinetic energy as function of time and quasi-energy at different values of the kicking parameters. Breaking of the PT-symmetry at certain values of the non-Hermitian kicking parameter is shown. Experimental realization of the model is also discussed.

We consider a hydrogen atom confined in time-dependent trap created by a spherical impenetrable box with time-dependent radius. For such model we study the behavior of atomic electron under the (non-adiabatic) dynamical confinement caused by the rapidly moving wall of the box. The expectation values of the total and kinetic energy, average force, pressure and coordinate are analyzed as a function of time for linearly expanding, contracting and harmonically breathing boxes. It is shown that linearly extending box leads to de-excitation of the atom, while the rapidly contracting box causes the creation of very high pressure on the atom and transition of the atomic electron into the unbound state. In harmonically breathing box diffusive excitation of atomic electron may occur in analogy with that for atom in a microwave field.

We consider the stationary sine-Gordon equation on metric graphs with simple topologies. The vertex boundary conditions are provided by flux conservation and matching of derivatives at the star graph vertex. Exact analytical solutions are obtained. It is shown that the method can be extended for tree and other simple graph topologies. Applications of the obtained results to branched planar Josephson junctions and Josephson junctions with tricrystal boundaries are discussed.
