The current analytical theories are not adequate for studying realistic problems. Computational methods provide the most convenient approaches. Numerical integration of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is one of the most powerful tools albeit the implementation of the blackbody boundary conditions is problematic. In this work, a novel method which render possible this implementation is described. A number of sample calculations are presented. The method is applied to several one- and two-dimensional systems. A description of the time-dependent behavior of quantum bistable switching is given.97 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessone-dimensional systemstwo-dimensional systemstransport theorynumerical solutionboundary conditionsSchrödinger equationtime dependencecrystal modelscrystal latticesMarkov processwave functionsquantum bistabilityQC20.7 .E24 1995Dimensional analysisSystem analysisTransport theorySchrodinger equationCrystal modelsCrystal latticesWave functionsThesis
