In this work the time-dependent Schrödinger equation, which is solved by employing absorbing boundary conditions, is considered. To achieve this, a negative imaginary short-range potential was added to the potential at the asymptotic regions. The study concentrated on deriving the necessary conditions for the absorbing potential to be almost perfect. The theoretical findings are supported by a numerical study carried out for a one-dimensional (reactive) model.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
