Abstract

Many significant quantum physical systems are characterized by Hamiltonians expressible as a linear combination of time-independent generators of a closed Lie algebra, H^(t)=l=1Lηl(t)g^l\hat{H}(t)=\sum_{l=1}^{L}\eta_{l}(t)\hat{g}_{l}. The Wei-Norman method provides a framework for determining the coefficients of the corresponding time evolution operator in its factorized representation, U^(t)=l=1LeΛl(t)g^l\hat{U}(t) = \prod_{l=1}^{L} e^{ \Lambda_{l}(t)\hat{g}_{l}}. This work introduces Symdyn\texttt{Symdyn}, a Python library that automates the application of this method. The library efficiently computes similarity transformations and the nonlinear differential equations intrinsic to derive Baker-Campbell-Hausdorff-like relations and the time evolution of high-order quantum systems (L6L\geq 6). We demonstrate its robustness by deriving the time evolution operator for a system of two time-dependent coupled harmonic oscillators. Additionally, we specialize the library to the Lie group SU(N)\textit{SU}(N), showing its versatility with SU(2)\textit{SU}(2), SU(3)\textit{SU}(3) and SU(4)\textit{SU}(4) examples, relevant to quantum computing.
