Unitary expansion of the time evolution operator

N. Zagury, A. Aragao, J. Casanova, E. Solano

Published 2010-08-11, updated 2011-07-18Version 3

We propose an expansion of the unitary evolution operator, associated to a given Schr\"odinger equation, in terms of a finite product of explicit unitary operators. In this manner, this unitary expansion can be truncated at the desired level of approximation, as shown in the given examples.
