Complete ionization for a non-autonomous point interaction model in d = 2

Abstract: We consider the two dimensional Schr\"odinger equation with time dependent delta potential, which represents a model for the dynamics of a quantum particle subject to a point interaction whose strength varies in time. First, we prove global well-posedness of the associated Cauchy problem under general assumptions on the potential and on the initial datum. Then, for a monochromatic periodic potential (which also satisfies a suitable no-resonance condition) we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the survival probability of a bound state of the time-independent problem. Such probability is shown to have a time decay of order $\mathcal{O}(\log t/t)^2$, up to lower order terms.
