SUMMARY
Constant fidelity of 1 between the initial and final quantum states at discrete time intervals (t=0,1,2...) indicates that the quantum state remains unchanged in terms of its physical properties, despite the passage of time. This scenario occurs when the quantum system is in an energy eigenstate, where only the overall phase evolves, which does not affect observable outcomes. Therefore, the physical implication is that the system does not undergo any dynamical evolution in terms of its state representation.
