Abstract

The finite-element (collocation) method enables us to construct discrete time-lattice quantum systems that accurately approximate continuum quantum systems. The discrete quantum systems so generated are fully consistent quantum-mechanical systems in their own right. This paper gives a comprehensive treatment of such quantum systems. We examine various finite-element schemes, construct the effective lattice Hamiltonian, and calculate eigenvalues. Numerical results are extremely easy to obtain and are very accurate.
