A Parallel Split Operator Method for the Time Dependent Schrödinger Equation
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we report on the parallelization of a split-step algorithm for the Schrödinger equation. The problem is represented in spherical coordinates in physical space and transformed to Fourier space for operation by the Laplacian operator, and Legendre space for operation by the Angular momentum operator and the Potential operator. Timing results are reported and analyzed for 3 different platforms

A Local Strong form Meshless Method for Solving 2D time-Dependent Schrödinger Equations
This paper deals with the numerical solutions of the 2D time dependent Schr¨odinger equations by using a local strong form meshless method. The time variable is discretized by a finite difference scheme. Then, in the resultant elliptic type PDEs, special variable is discretized with a local radial basis function (RBF) methods for which the PDE operator is also imposed in the local matrices. Des...
متن کاملProgram for quantum wave-packet dynamics with time-dependent potentials
We present a program to simulate the dynamics of a wave packet interacting with a time-dependent potential. The time-dependent Schrödinger equation is solved on a one-, two-, or three-dimensional spatial grid using the split operator method. The program can be compiled for execution either on a single processor or on a distributed-memory parallel computer.

The efficiency of the numerical propagators for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation in the wave packet approach to reactive scattering is of vital importance. In this Perspective, we first briefly review the propagators used in quantum reactive scattering calculations and their applications to triatomic reactions. Then we present a detailed comparison of about thirty higher-order sp...

We present a novel numerical method and algorithm for the solution of the 3D axially symmetric timedependent Schrödinger equation in cylindrical coordinates, involving singular Coulomb potential terms besides a smooth time-dependent potential. We use fourth order finite difference real space discretization, with special formulae for the arising Neumann and Robin boundary conditions along the sy...
متن کاملCharge capture and impact excitation processes in H+ on He+ collisions: a case study by the time-dependent Schrödinger equation method
We have studied the charge capture and impact excitation processes in H+ on He+ collisions over a wide range of collision energies by solving the time-dependent Schrödinger equation with the classical trajectory approximation for the projectile. The time-dependent Schrödinger equation is solved by the split-operator method with a generalized pseudospectral (nonuniform grid) method in the energy...
