Application of Lie Systems to Quantum Mechanics: Superposition Rules

2019 
We prove that t-dependent Schrodinger equations on finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces determined by t-dependent Hermitian Hamiltonian operators can be described through Lie systems admitting a Vessiot-Guldberg Lie algebra of Kahler vector fields. This result is extended to other related Schrodinger equations, e.g. projective ones, and their properties are studied through Poisson, presymplectic, and Kahler structures. This leads to deriving nonlinear superposition rules for them depending on a lower (or equal) number of solutions than standard linear ones. As an application, we study n-qubit systems and special attention is paid to the one-qubit case.
