- Abstract summary: Given a time-independent Hamiltonian $widetilde H$, one can construct a time-dependent Hamiltonian $H_t$ by means of the gauge transformation $H_t=U_t widetilde H, Udagger_t-i, U_t, partial_t U_tdagger$.
Here $U_t$ is the unitary transformation that relates the solutions of the corresponding Schrodinger equations.

- Abstract: Given a time-independent Hamiltonian $\widetilde H$, one can construct a
time-dependent Hamiltonian $H_t$ by means of the gauge transformation $H_t=U_t
\widetilde H \, U^\dagger_t-i\, U_t\, \partial_t U_t^\dagger$. Here $U_t$ is
the unitary transformation that relates the solutions of the corresponding
Schrodinger equations. In the many-body case one is usually interested in
Hamiltonians with few-body (often, at most two-body) interactions. We refer to
such Hamiltonians as "physical". We formulate sufficient conditions on $U_t$
ensuring that $H_t$ is physical as long as $\widetilde H$ is physical (and vice
versa). This way we obtain a general method for finding such pairs of physical
Hamiltonians $H_t$, $\widetilde H$ that the driven many-body dynamics governed
by $H_t$ can be reduced to the quench dynamics due to the time-independent
$\widetilde H$. We apply this method to a number of many-body systems. First we
review the mapping of a spin system with isotropic Heisenberg interaction and
arbitrary time-dependent magnetic field to the time-independent system without
a magnetic field [F. Yan, L. Yang, B. Li, Phys. Lett. A 251, 289 (1999); Phys.
Lett. A 259, 207 (1999)]. Then we demonstrate that essentially the same gauge
transformation eliminates an arbitrary time-dependent magnetic field from a
system of interacting fermions. Further, we apply the method to the quantum
Ising spin system and a spin coupled to a bosonic environment. We also discuss
a more general situation where $\widetilde H = \widetilde H_t$ is
time-dependent but dynamically integrable.

We show that in the limit one obtains the one-body Hamiltonian for the light particle subject to $N$ (non-local) point interactions placed at fixed positions.
We will verify that such non-local point interactions do not exhibit the ultraviolet pathologies that are present in the case of standard local point interactions.

We present a new, general approach to Hamiltonian learning that not only solves the challenging structure learning variant, but also resolves other open questions in the area.
Our algorithm recovers the Hamiltonian to $varepsilon$ error with an evolution time scaling with $1/varepsilon$.
As an application, we can also learn Hamiltonians exhibiting power-law decay up to accuracy $varepsilon$ with total evolution time beating the standard limit of $1/varepsilon2$.

We propose an alternative formalism that turns any non-autonomous unitary dynamical system into an autonomous unitary system.
This makes the simulation with time-dependent Hamiltonians not much more difficult than that of time-independent Hamiltonians.
We show how our new quantum protocol for time-dependent Hamiltonians can be performed in a resource-efficient way and without measurements.
