Abstract

We provide an angular parametrization of the special unitary group SU(2n)\textrm{SU}(2^{n}) generalizing Euler angles for SU(2)\textrm{SU}(2) by successively applying the KAK decomposition. We then determine constraint equations for the parametric curve of generalized Euler angles corresponding to the exponential curve of a given Hamiltonian. The constraint equations are in the form of first-order differential-algebraic equations and resemble Wei-Norman equations of canonical coordinates of the second kind for SU(2n)\textrm{SU}(2^{n}).
