On the integrability of the wave propagator arising from the Liouville–von Neumann equation

Abstract

The Liouville–von Neumann equation describes the change in the density matrix with time. Interestingly, this equation was recently regarded as a wave equation for wave functions but not as an equation for density functions. This setting leads to an extended form of the Schrodinger wave equation governing the motion of a quantum particle. In this paper, we obtain the integrability of the wave propagator arising from the Liouville–von Neumann equation in this setting.
