Abstract
Cheap and easy to implement fourth-order methods for the Schrödinger equation with time-dependent Hamiltonians are introduced. The methods require evaluations of exponentials of simple unidimensional integrals, and can be considered an averaging technique, preserving many of the qualitative properties of the exact solution.
