数值求解三维含时Schrodinger方程及其应用

发展了一套高精度、高效率的伪谱方法,以非微扰的方式求解真实原子三维含时Schrodinger方程.该方法选用二阶劈裂算符作为时间演化算子,分别选择能谱表象和坐标表象作为含时波函数演化的两个表象.在坐标表象下波函数的径向部分使用库仑波函数离散变量表象来离散;角向波函数展开在两维的Gauss-Legendre-Fourier格点上.以H原子的光激发和光电离过程为例,进行了数值计算并和解析解进行了比对.结果表明二者符合很好.该方法很好地处理了库仑奇点问题.还计算了强激光辐照H原子的多光子电离过程,并和其他的数值方案进行了比较.结果表明,在计算收敛的前提下本方法计算效率更高.

Abstract：

We present an accurate and effective pseudospectral method for solving the three-dimensional time-dependent Schrodinger equation involving the Coulomb potential. In this method, the Hamiltonian is evaluated by exploiting the two representations of the wave function. One is a grid representation, in which the angular dependence of the wave function is expanded in a two-dimensional Gauss-Legendre-Fourier grid in the coordinate space of polar and azimuthal angles. The radial coordinate is discretized using a discrete variable representation constructed from the Coulomb wave function (CWDVR) . The other is a spectral representation, in which the wave function is expanded in a set of square integrable functions chosen as the eigenfunctions of a zero-order Hamiltonian. The time of propagation of the wave function is calculated using the well-known second-order split-operator method implemented through the transform between the grid and spectral representations. Calculations on the photo-absorption strength of hydrogen atom are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of present method in low energy limit by the time-dependent wave-packet propagation method. As another example, the present method is applied to multiphoton ionization of H atom. For a wide range of field parameters, ionization rates calculated using the present method are in excellent agreement with those from other accurate numerical calculations. The new algorithm will be found more efficient than the close coupled wave packet method using CWDVR and/or methods based on evenly spaced grids.

Numerical solution of the three-dimensional time-dependent Schrodinger equation and its application

We present an accurate and effective pseudospectral method for solving the three-dimensional time-dependent Schrodinger equation involving the Coulomb potential. In this method, the Hamiltonian is evaluated by exploiting the two representations of the wave function. One is a grid representation, in which the angular dependence of the wave function is expanded in a two-dimensional Gauss-Legendre-Fourier grid in the coordinate space of polar and azimuthal angles. The radial coordinate is discretized using a discrete variable representation constructed from the Coulomb wave function (CWDVR) . The other is a spectral representation, in which the wave function is expanded in a set of square integrable functions chosen as the eigenfunctions of a zero-order Hamiltonian. The time of propagation of the wave function is calculated using the well-known second-order split-operator method implemented through the transform between the grid and spectral representations. Calculations on the photo-absorption strength of hydrogen atom are presented to demonstrate the accuracy of present method in low energy limit by the time-dependent wave-packet propagation method.
