The research demonstrates the uniform convergence of time splitting algorithms for the von Neumann equation of quantum dynamics in the Planck constant h, and provides explicit error estimates uniform in h for the first-order Lie-Trotter and second-order Strang splitting methods.
By using the pseudo-metric introduced in Golse and Paul (Arch Ration Mech Anal 223:57-94, 2017), which is an analogue of the Wasserstein distance of exponent 2 between a quantum density operator and a classical (phase-space) density, we prove that the convergence of time splitting algorithms for the von Neumann equation of quantum dynamics is uniform in the Planck constant h. We obtain explicit uniform in h error estimates for the first-order Lie-Trotter, and the second-order Strang splitting methods.
