<p>A variety of physically relevant bilinear Schrödinger equations are known to be approximately controllable in large times. There are, however, examples, which are approximately controllable in large times, but not in small times. This obstruction happens, for example, in the presence of (sub)quadratic potentials, because Gaussian states are preserved, at least for small times. In this work, we provide the first examples of small-time approximately controllable bilinear Schrödinger equations. In particular, we show that a control on the frequency of a quadratic potential permits to construct approximate solutions that evolve arbitrarily fast along space-dilations. Once we have access to space-dilations, we can exploit them to generate time-contractions. In this way, we build on previous results of large-time control, to obtain control in small times.</p>
