first order (Lie-Trotter) split operator scheme for numerical integration of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, named after Erwin Schrödinger, Hale F. Trotter, Sophus Lie

Defining Formula: $|\psi (t+\Delta t)⟩=\exp (-i\Delta t\hat{T}/\hslash )\exp (-i\Delta t\hat{V}/\hslash )|\psi (t)⟩+𝒪(\Delta t)$

$T$ represents kinetic energy operator

$V$ represents potential energy operator

$\Delta t$ represents time step

$\hslash$ represents reduced Planck constant

$\mathrm{i}$ represents imaginary unit

$\psi$ represents quantum state vector (dynamic)
