Abstract
A quantum harmonic oscillator with a frequency modulation is an extensively studied model, and has relevance to important physical processes. In this paper we consider response of the frequency modulation in terms of the time dependence of quasi energies and the deviation from the quantum virial theorem. Four modulation types\- linear, quadratic, exponential, and sinusoidal-are considered. In all cases the average potential and the average kinetic quasi-energies as well as the deviation from the quantum virial theorem exhibit oscillations in response to frequency modulation. A comparative study of the responses for these modulation types are given.
