We calculate the short-time expansion of the propagator for a general quantum system with many degrees of freedom in a time-dependent potential to orders that have not yet been accessible before. Based on the earlier developed approach, the propagator is expressed in terms of a discretized effective potential, for which we derive and analytically solve a set of efficient recursion relations. Such a discretized effective potential can be used for solving a plethora of non-equilibrium many-body quantum problems within the exact diagonalization (arXiv:0911.5145 and arXiv:0911.5154) or Path-Integral Monte-Carlo approach, or to set up various analytic approximation techniques to study dynamic properties of quantum systems in time-dependent potentials. The analytically derived results are numerically verified by treating several simple models in both imaginary and real time.
