      The author presents an absorbing boundary condition for the free-space Schrödinger equation based on a rational approximation to the square root. This approximation produces a sequence of inhomogeneous Schrödinger equations for auxiliary surface variables. It is shown that the boundary operator so defined is bounded. Two-dimensional examples are given, which show that it may be worthwhile to use rational approximations of order as high as 19. The method is also shown to be effective for a one-dimensional, nonlinear Schrödinger equation with soliton solutions.
