Abstract
We re-examine the (inverse) Fermi accelerator problem by resorting to a quantum trajectory description of the dynamics. Quantum trajectories are generated from the time-independent Schrödinger equation solutions, using a unipolar treatment for the (light) confined particle and a bipolar treatment for the (heavy) movable wall. Analytic results are presented for the exact coupled two-dimensional problem, as well as for the adiabatic and mixed quantum-classical approximations.
