  1. A Real-Time Numerical Integrator for the One-Dimensional Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation Cris Cecka April 29th 2004 Harvey Mudd College

  2. Purpose • To derive a Numerical Integration method for the One-Dimensional Time-Dependent Schrödinger Equation. • To determine validity and accuracy of method.

  3. It’s all Greek…

  4. A whole lotta Greek

  5. Almost there…

  6. Sweet

  8. Accuracy Baby

  9. Other Tests

  10. Other Other Tests • The eigenfunction expansion of the wave form can be shown to be conserved over long periods!! Astounding

  11. 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
