Computer graphics for solutions of time-dependent Schrödinger equations

Robert L. W. Chen

Computer graphics has been developed as a teaching aid for an undergraduate course in quantum mechanics. It has the following capabilities: (1) it solves the time-dependent Schrödinger equation and displays the results; (2) the user may interact with the computer program by choosing the initial condition of the wave function, the potential V(x), etc; and (3) it works reasonably fast on computer facilities available in most of the large- and medium-sized colleges and universities.

Accurate numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation

W. van Dijk, F. Masafumi Toyama

We present a generalization of the often-used Crank-Nicolson (CN) method of obtaining numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. The generalization yields numerical solutions accurate to order (Deltax)2r-1 in space and (Deltat)2M in time for any positive integers r and M, while CN employ r=M=1. We note dramatic improvement in the attainable precision (circa ten or greater orders of magnitude) along with several orders of magnitude reduction of computational time. The improved method is shown to lead to feasible studies of coherent-state oscillations with additional short-range interactions, wave-packet scattering, and long-time studies of decaying systems.
