Abstract
A recent method for solving the time-dependent Schrodinger equation has been developed using expansions in compact-support wavelet bases in both space and time [H. Wang et al., J. Chem. Phys. 121, 7647 (2004)]. This method represents an exact quantum mixed time-frequency approach, with special initial temporal wavelets used to solve the initial value problem. The present work is a first extension of the method to multiple spatial dimensions applied to a simple two-dimensional (2D) coupled anharmonic oscillator problem. A wavelet-discretized version of norm preservation for time-independent Hamiltonians discovered in the earlier one-dimensional investigation is verified to hold as well in 2D and, by implication, in higher numbers of spatial dimensions. The wavelet bases are not restricted to rectangular domains, a fact which is exploited here in a 2D adaptive version of the algorithm.
