Visualizing quantum scattering on the CM-2 supercomputer

Abstract We implement parallel algorithms for solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation on the CM-2 supercomputer. These methods are unconditionally stable as well as unitary at each time step and have the advantage of being spatially local and explicit. We show how to visualize the dynamics of quantum scattering using techniques for visualizing complex wave functions. Several scattering problems are solved to demonstrate the use of these methods.
