Abstract

In this article we present an exact and unified description of wave packet dynamics in various 2D systems in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. We consider an initial minimum-uncertainty Gaussian wave packet and find that its long-term dynamics displays the universal phenomena of spontaneous collapse and quantum revival. We estimate the timescales associated with these phenomena based on very general arguments for various materials, whose carrier dynamics is described either by the Schrödinger equation or by the Dirac equation.
