Abstract

The finite difference time domain(FDTD) method is widely used in numerical simulation of electromagnetic fields,and it is combined with quantum mechanics to solve the time-dependent Schrdinger equation.Nevertheless,researches in stability numerical computation often lack theoretical support.This paper mainly deals with the stability condition starting from one-dimensional and multi-dimensional time-dependent Schrdinger equations based on von Neumann stability analysis.Especially,different cases of potential energy are investigated to obtain the expressions.Numerical results show the correctness of the conclusion.
