Computational method for the retarded potential in the real‐time simulation of quantum electrodynamics

Abstract

We discuss the method to compute the integrals, which appear in the retarded potential term for a real‐time simulation based on quantum electrodynamics. We show that the oscillatory integrals over the infinite interval involved in them can be efficiently performed by the method developed by Ooura and Mori based on the double exponential formula. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
