Eliminating the Second-Order Time Dependence from the Time Dependent Schr\"odinger Equation Using Recursive Fourier Transforms

Abstract

A strategy is developed for writing the time-dependent Schr\"odinger Equation (TDSE), and more generally the Dyson Series, as a convolution equation using recursive Fourier transforms, thereby decoupling the second-order integral from the first without using the time ordering operator. The energy distribution is calculated for a number of standard perturbation theory examples at first- and second-order. Possible applications include characterization of photonic spectra for bosonic sampling and four-wave mixing in quantum computation and Bardeen tunneling amplitude in quantum mechanics.
