Description
We consider the quantum dynamics of a single particle in the plane under the influence of a constant perpendicular magnetic and a crossed electric potential field. For a class of smooth and small potentials we construct a non-trivial invariant of motion. To do so we prove that the Hamiltonian is unitarily equivalent to an effective Hamiltonian which commutes with the observable of kinetic energy.
