A Real-Time Numerical Integrator for the One-Dimensional Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation Cris Cecka April 29th 2004 Harvey Mudd College
Purpose • To derive a Numerical Integration method for the One-Dimensional Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation. • To determine validity and accuracy of method.

Other Other Tests • The eigenfunction expansion of the wave form can be shown to be conserved over long periods!! Astounding
Future Plans • User defined potential • Time-Dependent potential • Dirac Smashing • Mathematical implication of complex-valued potentials • Momentum space • Derivation of eigenfunction expansion using interference patterns
