<abstract abstract-type="short" xml:lang="es"><p><![CDATA[El tema de efectos transitorios en mecánica cuántica ha sido de interés para uno de los autores (MM) desde hace mucho tiempo, cuando aun no había técnicas experimentales para observarlos. En particular, el problema de abrir instantáneamente un obturador lo llevo al concepto de difracción en el tiempo [1]. Desde el punto de vista físico sólo se puede abrir un obturador como función del tiempo, y esto complica grandemente el problema ya que entonces no es invariante ante translaciones en el tiempo y por ello, entre otras dificultades, la energía del sistema no es una constante de movimiento. Kleber y Scheitler [2] analizaron el problema describiendo el obturador como un potencial &#948; en el origen x = 0, pero cuya intensidad es una función inversa del tiempo. En este trabajo seguimos otro procedimiento agregando a nuestro canal inicial de dos partículas otro nuevo, y los hacemos interactuar a través de apropiadas condiciones estacionarias a la frontera en el punto de coincidencia de los dos canales. El problema completo conserva la energía total, pero esto no sucede si nos restringimos sólo a la descripción en el primer canal. Por ello tenemos un modelo, (soluble analíticamente con ayuda de una transformada de Laplace) de algunos aspectos de un obturador que se abre como función del tiempo y lo comparamos con el análisis de la referencia [2].]]></p></abstract>
