By virtue of the success of the transmission line matrix method (TLM) in solving heat and matter diffusion problems, it should also be applicable to the time-dependent Schrodinger equation. The occurrence of complexvalued circuit elements does not destroy the unconditional stability of the routine.

✦ Synopsis
This paper presents a multigrid method for numerically solving the coupled Poisson-Schro ¨dinger equations in one dimension for a multilayered HEMT device structure. It is shown that this method produces a good speed-up factor over the non-multigrid approach. This should make it suitable for incorporating into the twodimensional HEMT model involving coupled Poisson, Schro ¨dinger, current continuity and energy transport equations, with the Schro ¨dinger equation being solved in slices perpendicular to the layer structure. The time taken to produce a multigrid solution depends on the size of the coarse grid and on the number of grids used. A method of predicting the time taken for any combination of these values is presented. The method is demonstrated for a 4-layer device.
