    The author considers a linear Schrödinger equation with quasi-periodic in time \(t\) coefficient with frequency \(\omega \in {\mathbb R}^n\) \[ \mathrm i u_t - u_{xx} + Mu + \varepsilon W(\omega t,x) u = 0 \] subject to the Dirichlet boundary condition \(u(t, 0) = u(t, \pi) = 0.\) It is assumed that \(W\) is an even finitely smooth function of \(x\) and \(\omega=\tau \omega_0\), where \(\tau \in [1,2]\) is a parameter and \(\omega_0\) is Diophantine. It is shown that there is a quasi-periodic coordinate transform \(u=\Phi(\omega t, x) u\) which changes this equation into \[ \mathrm i \,v_{t}-v_{xx}+M_\xi v=0,\;\; v(t,0)=v(t,\pi)=0, \] where \(M_\xi\) is a real Fourier multiplier: \(M_\xi \, \sin\, k x=(M+\xi_k) \sin\, k x,\; k\in \mathbb N,\) with constants \(\xi_k\in\mathbb R\). It is also proved that the corresponding Schrödinger operator possesses the property of pure point spectra and zero Lyapunov exponent.
