Parameter differentiation and quantum state decomposition for time varying Schroedinger equations

Quantum Physics 2009-11-07 v2

Abstract

For the unitary operator, solution of the Schroedinger equation corresponding to a time-varying Hamiltonian, the relation between the Magnus and the product of exponentials expansions can be expressed in terms of a system of first order differential equations in the parameters of the two expansions. A method is proposed to compute such differential equations explicitly and in a closed form.
