Time evolution of the control parameters and properties. Taking the depth of well A as reference, (a) the heights of the four barriers and (b) the depths of the remaining three wells are tracked as they are evolved in time. (c) The temporal path is set by choosing mutually offset Gaussian profile evolution for the underlying parameters p, q and δ of the discrete Hamiltonian. The inset shows their parametric locus. (d) The evolution of the eigenstates are characterized by the angles θ and \(\varphi \), obtained by re-parameterizing p, q and δ from the discrete Hamiltonian, along with the phase α the discrete counterpart of which evolves synchronously with δ.
