In this paper, we consider the problem of model equivalence for quantum systems. Two models are said to be (input-output) equivalent if they give the same output for every admissible input. In the case of quantum systems, the output is the expectation value of a given observable or, more in general, a probability distribution for the result of a quantum measurement. We link the input-output equivalence of two models to the existence of a homomorphism of the underlying Lie algebra. In several cases, a Cartan decomposition of the Lie algebra su(n) is useful to find such a homomorphism and to determine the classes of equivalent models. We consider in detail the important cases of two level systems with a Cartan structure and of spin networks. In the latter case, complete results are given generalizing previous results to the case of networks of spin particles with any value of the spin. In treating this problem, we prove some instrumental results on the subalgebras of su(n) which are of independent interest.
