Evolution of squeezed states under the Fock-Darwin Hamiltonian

We develop a complete analytical description of the time evolution of squeezed states of a charged particle under the Fock-Darwin (FD) Hamiltonian and a time-dependent electric field. This result generalizes a relation obtained by Infeld and Pleba\ifmmode \acute{n}\else \'{n}\fi{}ski for states of the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator. We relate the evolution of a state-vector subjected to squeezing to that of state which is not subjected to squeezing and for which the time evolution under the simple harmonic oscillator dynamics is known (e.g., an eigenstate of the Hamiltonian). A corresponding relation is also established for the Wigner functions of the states, in view of their utility in the analysis of cold-ion experiments. In Appendix A, we compute the response functions of the FD Hamiltonian to an external electric field, using the same techniques as in the main text.
