Comprehending the dynamical behaviour of quantum systems driven by time-varying Hamiltonians is particularly difficult. Systems with as little as two energy levels are not yet fully understood. Since the inception of Magnus’ expansion in 1954, no fundamentally novel mathematical method for solving the quantum equations of motion with a time-varying Hamiltonian has been devised. We report here of an entirely different non-perturbative approach, termed path-sum, which is always guaranteed to…

If all the non-constant coefficients are smooth functions then tridiagonalisation is always possible using only piecewise smooth functions and isolated Dirac delta distributions, which formally establishes the convergence and good behavior of the recently published Lanczos-like algorithm.
