Abstract
We investigate the spectral and eigenstate properties of the quantum superexponential oscillator. Our focus is on the quantum signatures of the recently observed transition of the energy dependent period of the corresponding classical superexponential oscillator. We show that the ground state exhibits a remarkable metamorphosis of decentering, asymmetrical squeezing and the development of a tail. Analyzing the central moments up to high order a characteristic transition from exponentially decaying moments to increasing moments is unraveled. A corresponding spectral analysis shows that, surprisingly, to a good approximation the spectrum is equidistant. A closer look, however, reveals a spectral scaling behaviour below the transition point which is replaced by irregular oscillations above the transition energy. Excited bound states are analyzed up to the continuum threshold. We discuss future perspectives and possible experimental realizations of the superexponential oscillator.
