Abstract:
A new representation of quantum mechanics involving finite difference operators is presented. The time-dependent Schrödinger wave equation is furnished as a partialdifference-differential equation. This wave equation is solved exactly for a three-dimensional oscillator.It is emphasized that this representation is exact and not a numerical approximation.
