Implementation of time evolution operator. Panel (a) depicts the diffraction of light in free space (shadow) as the simulation of the propagator of free particle. Panel (b) shows a phase plate (rectangle) acting as a time evolution operator of a delta-kick potential. In (c), combination of (a) and (b) can realize a general time evolution operator for any time scale via the approximation of Suzuki–Trotter expansion (second order).
