Abstract: | We consider quantum bosons with contact interactions at the Lowest Landau Level (LLL) of a two-dimensional isotropic harmonic trap. At linear order in the coupling parameter g, we construct a large, explicit family of quantum states with energies of the form , where and are integers. Any superposition of these states evolves periodically with a period of until, at much longer time scales of order , corrections to the energies of order may become relevant. These quantum states provide a counterpart to the known time-periodic behaviors of the corresponding classical (mean field) theory. |
