Gravitational bouncing of a quantum ball: Room for Airy's function Bi

Abstract

"I apply (i) a classical version of the Ermakov-Lewis procedure and (ii) the strictly isospectral supersymmetric approach to the Schrodinger free fall of the bouncing ball type. In both cases, the Airy function Bi, which in general is eliminated as being unphysical. plays a well-defined role. Relevant plots are displayed."
