Direct Numerical Solution of the N-particle Schroedinger Equation using Grid Based Methods
Project Goal : Develop a grid based simuluation framework to facilitate the investigation of the solutions of the N-particle Schroedinger equation
Abstract: The computational capabilities of currently available high performance desktop machines offer the potential of enabling the direct numerical solution of the N-particle Schroedinger equation for small numbers of particles. This project is devoted to developing efficient grid based numerical techniques that can effectively utilize this computational capability, and ultimately lead to a software framework that will enable the exploration of the mathematical properties associated with solutions of the N-particle Schroedinger equation and equations currently used to approximate solutions of the N-particle Schroedinger equation
