Abstract
An exact solution to the Schrödinger equation corresponding to the problem of a particle falling under gravitational acceleration and bouncing on a harmonically oscillating surface is derived. Stationary phase approximations to the transition amplitudes from an initial state to eigenfunctions of the problem with a fixed surface are worked out and illustrated.
