Abstract

The classical and quantum dynamics on potentials that are asymptotically unbounded were discussed. It was found that quantum bound states existed in certain bottomless potentials. It was found that only a set of zero measure of classical trajectories can escape to infinity. Dissipative effects can bring a particle into its ground state.
