Suppression of reflection from the grid boundary in solving the time-dependent Schroedinger equation by split-step technique with fast Fourier transform

Abstract

We present an approach to numerically solving the time-dependent Schroedinger equation and other parabolic equations by the split-step technique with fast Fourier transform, which suppresses the backreflection of waves from the grid boundaries with any specified accuracy. Most importantly, all known methods work well only for a narrow region of incident waves spectrum, and the proposed method provides absorption of any wave whose length is large enough in comparison with the size of absorption region.
