✦ Synopsis
For the solution of the Schrodinger equation by finite difference methods on a grid of mesh points we introduce complex potentials at the points near the boundaries, which minimize the reflection of the waves by the boundaries. This procedure simulates a transparency for the waves through the boundaries. Test calculations in one dimension with Gaussian wave packets demonstrate the applicability of the method.

We discuss a method of overcoming the large-phase-cancellation problem, due to rapid oscillations of the integrand, which arises when trying to compute far off-diagonal radiative matrix elements; relevant for spectral wings. The method involves (a) distorting the matrix-element integration path from
A numerical Fourier transform method is developed to solve the time-dependent Schrodinger equation in spherical coordinates. The method is tested for the rigid rotor and a model bending potential. Results are in excellent agreement with exact values.
