  We study its controllability around the ground state when the linearized
system is not controllable and wonder whether the quadratic term can help to
recover the directions lost at the first order. More precisely, in this paper,
we formulate assumptions under which the quadratic term induces a drift which
prevents the small-time local controllability (STLC) of the system in
appropriate spaces. For finite-dimensional systems, quadratic terms induce
coercive drifts in the dynamic, quantified by integer negative Sobolev norms,
along explicit Lie brackets which prevent STLC.In the context of the bilinear
Schr{\"o}dinger equation, the first drift, quantified by the $H^{-1}$-norm of
the control, was already observed and used to deny STLC with controls small in
$L^\infty$. In this article, we improve this result by denying STLC with
controls small in $W^{-1, \infty}$. Furthermore, for any positive integer $n$,
we formulate assumptions under which one may observe a quadratic drift
quantified by the $H^{-n}$-norm of the control and we use it to deny STLC in
suitable spaces.
