When solutionare solutions of the Schrödinger isequation radial?

Let $S$ be a nonnegative self- adjointadjoint operator inon a complex Hilbert Spacespace $X$. (SayFor example, $X$ consists of functions on $\mathbb R^d$, e.g.,; it could be $L^2(\mathbb R^d), \dot{H}^1(\mathbb R^d)$$L^2(\mathbb R^d), \dot{H}^2(\mathbb R^d)$, etc.  )

We consider the abstract Cauchy problem for the Schrödinger equation (SE):

$$i\frac{\partial}{\partial t} u(x,t) + Su(x,t)=0, u(x,0)=u_0(x)$$ $$ i\frac{\partial}{\partial t} u(x,t) + Su(x,t)=0, u(x,0)=u_0(x). $$

Formally, we may write the solution of $(SE)$ as:, $$u(x,t)= e^{itS}u_0(x).$$

Question: If $u_0(x)\in X$ is radial, then can we expectis it true that $e^{itS}u_0(x)$ is also a radial radial?

Note:
(1) I know that if $S=- \Delta$, then $e^{itS}u_{0}$ is radial whenever $u_0$ is radial.
(2) Specifically, I am interested in $S=-\Delta+ \frac{a}{|x|^2}$, see here   Section 1.1 for detaildetails (with $d\geq 3, a\geq (\frac{d-2}{2})^2$).

When solution of Schrödinger is radial?
