Abstract
If the standard 1D quantum infinite potential well initially in its ground
state suffers a sudden expansion, it turns out that in the evolution of the
system they may appear plateaux of probability for some fractional times, as
noticed by C. Aslangul in 2008. We introduce a mathematical framework to
explain this phenomenon. Remarkably, the characterization of these plateaux
depends on nontrivial number theoretical considerations.
