• openAccess   A pedagogical approach to the Magnus expansion 

      Blanes, Sergio; Casas, Fernando; Oteo, J. A.; Ros, J. Institute of Physics (2010-07)
      Time-dependent perturbation theory as a tool to compute approximate solutions of the Schrödinger equation does not preserve unitarity. Here we present, in a simple way, how the Magnus expansion (also known as exponential ...
    • closedAccess   Efficient numerical integration of NNth-order non-autonomous linear differential equations 

      Bader, Philipp; Blanes, Sergio; Casas, Fernando; Ponsoda, Enrique Elsevier (2016)
      We consider the numerical integration of high-order linear non-homogeneous differential equations, written as first order homogeneous linear equations, and using exponential methods. Integrators like Magnus expansions or ...
    • openAccess   Exponential Perturbative Expansions and Coordinate Transformations 

      Arnal, A.; Casas, Fernando; Chiralt, Cristina MDPI (2020)
      We propose a unified approach for different exponential perturbation techniques used in the treatment of time-dependent quantum mechanical problems, namely the Magnus expansion, the Floquet–Magnus expansion for periodic ...
    • openAccess   New anallytic approximations based on the Magnus expansion 

      Sánchez, S.; Casas, Fernando; Fernández, A. Springer Science+Business Media, LLC (2011-09)
      The Magnus expansion is a frequently used tool to get approximate analytic solutions of time-dependent linear ordinary differential equations and in particular the Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics. However, the ...
    • openAccess   Unitary transformations depending on a small parameter 

      Casas, Fernando; Oteo, J. A.; Ros, J. Royal Society, The (2012)
      We formulate a unitary perturbation theory for quantum mechanics inspired by the LieDeprit formulation of canonical transformations. The original Hamiltonian is converted into a solvable one by a transformation obtained ...
