Optimal realizations of quantum technology tasks lead to the necessity of a detailed analytical study of the behavior of a d-level quantum system (qudit) under a time-dependent Hamiltonian. In the present article, we introduce a new general formalism describing the unitary evolution of a qudit ( d ≥ 2 ) in terms of the Bloch-like vector space and specify how, in a general case, this formalism is related to finding time-dependent parameters in the exponential representation of the evolution operator under an arbitrary time-dependent Hamiltonian. Applying this new general formalism to a qubit case ( d = 2 ) , we specify the unitary evolution of a qubit via the evolution of a unit vector in R 4 , and this allows us to derive the precise analytical expression of the qubit unitary evolution operator for a wide class of nonstationary Hamiltonians. This new analytical expression includes the qubit solutions known in the literature only as particular cases.

We consider a circular superconductor with a weak link mesoscopic Josephson junction in the presence of a dc voltage bias. Using the time-dependent perturbated method, we obtain the unitary evolution operator of the mesoscopic junction system and show that an initial vacuum state of the junction can evolve into a class of superposition of coherent states. Further, we show that the charge tunneling through the junction can exhibit step properties in the mesoscopic system.

In this expository paper, we study Lq-Lr decay estimates of the evolution operator generated by a perturbed Stokes system in n-dimensional exterior domains when the coefficients are time-dependent and can be unbounded at spatial infinity. By following the approach developed by the present author for the physically relevant case where the rigid motion of the obstacle is time-dependent, we clarify that some decay properties of solutions to the same system in whole space Rn together with the energy relation imply the desired estimates in exterior domains provided n≥3.

The notions of V-dentability, V-s-dentability and V-f-dentability are introduced. It is shown, in particular, that if B is a bounded sequentially complete convex metrizable subset of a locally convex vector space E and V is a neighborhood of zero in E, then the following are equivalent: 1). B is subset V-dentable; 2). B is subset V-s-dentable; 3). B is subset V-f-dentable. It follows from this that for a wide class of locally convex vector spaces E, which strictly contains the class of (BM) spaces (introduced by Elias Saab in 1978), the following is true: every closed bounded subset of E is dentable if and only if every closed bounded subset of E is f-dentable. Also, we get a positive answer to the Saab's question (1978) of whether the subset dentability and the subset s-dentability are the same forthe bounded complete convex metrizable subsets of any l.c.v. space.

In this paper we study the evolution operator of a time-dependent Hamiltonian in the three level system. The evolution operator is based on SU(3) and its dimension is eight, so we obtain three complex Riccati differential equations interacting with one another (which have been obtained by Fujii and Oike) and two real phase equations. This is a canonical form of the evolution operator.

We consider the most general Time-Dependent (TD) quadratic Hamiltonian written in terms of the bosonic operators a and a+, which may represent either a charged particle subjected to a harmonic motion, immersed in a TD uniform magnetic field, or a single mode photon field going through a squeezing medium. We solve the TD Schrödinger equation by a method that uses, sequentially, a TD unitary transformation and the diagonalization of a TD invariant, and we verify that the exact solution is a complete set of TD states. We also obtain the evolution operator which is essential to express operators in the Heisenberg picture. The variances of the quadratures are calculated and a phase space of parameters introduced, in which we identify squeezing regions. The results for some special cases are presented and as an illustrative example the parametric oscillator is revisited and the trajectories in phase space drawn.

It is demonstrated by using the technique of Lie algebra SU(2) that the problem of two-level systems described by arbitrary time-dependent Hamiltonians can be solved exactly. A closed-form solution of the evolution operator is presented, from which the results for any special case can be deduced.
