This paper deals with two domain decomposition methods for two dimensional linear Schrödinger equation, the Schwarz waveform relaxation method and the domain decomposition in space method. After presenting the classical algorithms, we propose a new algorithm for the Schrödinger equation with constant potential and a preconditioned algorithm for the general Schrödinger equation. These algorithms...

A five-dimensional symmetry algebra consisting of Lie point symmetries is firstly computed for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation, which, together with a reflection invariance, generates two five-parameter solution groups. Three ansätze of transformations are secondly analyzed and used to construct exact solutions to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Various examples of exact solutions with c...

A method to compute the bound state eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a Schrödinger equation or a spinless Salpeter equation with central interaction is presented. This method is the generalization to the three-dimensional case of the Fourier grid Hamiltonian method for one-dimensional Schrödinger equation. It requires only the evaluation of the potential at equally spaced grid points and yield...

The spectrum of a Schrödinger operator with a perfect honeycomb lattice potential has special points, called Dirac points where the lowest two branches of the spectrum touch. Deformations can result in the merging and disappearance of the Dirac points and the originally intersecting dispersion relation branches separate. Corresponding to these deformations, nonlinear envelope equations are deri...

The electron flow through quantum waveguides is modeled by the time-dependent Schrödinger equation with absorbing boundary conditions, which are realized by a negative imaginary potential. The Schrödinger equation is discretized by a time-splitting spectral method, and the quantum waveguides are fed by a mono-energetic incoming plane wave pulse. The resulting algorithm is extremely efficient du...

In the present paper, the authors consider the Schrödinger operator H with the Coulomb potential defined in R3m, where m is a positive integer. Both bounded domain approximations to multielectron systems and finite element approximations to the helium system are analyzed. The spectrum of H becomes completely discrete when confined to bounded domains. The error estimate of the bounded domain app...

In this paper, we develop a multiscale local discontinuous Galerkin (LDG) method to simulate the one-dimensional stationary Schrödinger-Poisson problem. The stationary Schrödinger equation is discretized by the WKB local discontinuous Galerkin (WKB-LDG) method, and the Poisson potential equation is discretized by the minimal dissipation LDG (MD-LDG) method. The WKB-LDG method we propose provide...

Usually spectral structure of the ordinary periodic Schrödinger operator is revealed based on analysis of the corresponding transfer-matrix. In this approach the quasi-momentum exponentials appear as eigenvalues of the transfer-matrix which correspond to quasi-periodic solutions of the homogeneous Schrödinger equation, and the corresponding Weyl functions are obtained as coordinates of the appr...

We investigate the convergence properties of a three-dimensional quantum lattice Boltzmann scheme for the Dirac equation. These schemes were constructed as discretizations of the Dirac equation based on operator splitting to separate the streaming along the three coordinate axes, but their output has previously only been compared against solutions of the Schrödinger equation. The Schrödinger eq...

The Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) of a dilute gas of bosons is well described by the three-dimensional Gross-Pitaevskii equation (3D GPE), that is a nonlinear Schrödinger equation. By imposing a transverse confinement the BEC can travel only in the cylindrical axial direction. We show that in this case the BEC with attractive interaction admits a 3D bright soliton solution which generalizes th...
