| ψ ( t + Δ t ) ⟩ = | ψ ( t − Δ t ) ⟩ − 2 i Δ t H ^ / ℏ | ψ ( t ) ⟩ + 𝒪 ( Δ t ) 3
Δ t
Essentially a symmetric (and symplectic!) combination of Euler forward and backward methods.
second order differencing method
propagation scheme for the time-dependent Schrödinger equation based on a time-symmetric explicit Euler scheme
