A method is presented to simulate the magnetic response of a quantum toroid for the purpose of optimizing the nonlinear characteristics of an induced magnetic dipole. This is a true three-dimensional simulation based on the direct implementation of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation. We demonstrate that the expectation value the quantum magnetic dipole operator returns results consistent with a classical electron in a loop under the influence of a magnetic field.
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.
