摘要

A single particle magneto-confined in a one-dimensional (1D) quantum wire experiences a harmonic potential,and imposing a sharply focused laser beam on an appropriate site shapes a δ potential. The theoretical investigation has demonstrated that for a sufficiently strong δ pulse the quantum motional stationary state of the particle is one of the eigenstatss of the free harmonic oscillator, and it is determined by the site of the laser beam uniquely, namely a quantum state is admissible if and only if the laser site is one of its nodes. The numerical computation shows that all the nodes of the lower energy states with quantum numbers n ≤ 20, except the coordinate origin, are mutually different.So we can manipulate the multiphoton transitions between the quantum states by adjusting the position of the laser δpulse and realize the transition from an unknown higher excitation state to a required lower energy state.
