sionless parameters P1 = "/ √ 2m~!0� and P2 = (3~�)/(4m √ �) (", �, � and !0 being the driving amplitude, the frequency chirp rate, the nonlinearity parameter and the linear frequency of the oscillator). It is shown that for P2 ≪ 1, the passage through the linear resonance at sufficiently large P1 yields classical autoresonance (AR) in the system, even when starting in a quantum ground state. In contrast, for P2 ≫ 1, the transition involves quantum-mechanical energy ladder climbing (LC). The threshold for the phase-locking transition and its width in P1 in both AR and LC limits are calculated. The theoretical results are tested by solving the Schrodinger equation in the energy basis and illustrated via the Wigner function in phase space. PACS numbers: 42.50.Hz, 42.50.Lc, 33.80.Wz, 05.45.Xt
