This expansion in terms of different-time commutators is often easier to evaluatethan Eq. (2.18), especiallywhen the contributions vanish for k È kmax (see section 2.3.3for the case kmax Æ 1). Even if higher-order contributions do not vanish entirely, they(usually) decrease in importance much more rapidly with increasing k than those ofEq. (2.18). Also, even if the Magnus expansion is artificially truncated (neglectinghigher-order terms), the quantum-mechanical evolution is still unitary; this is notthe case for Eq. (2.18).2.3.1 time-independent basis
