Abstract

Using the discretized path integral formalism we develop a numerically convenient and accurate method for evaluating the finite time propagator (and density matrix) of a given system. The eigenfunctions and energies of large number of states of the system are also found. We demonstrate the accuracy of the method by computing eigenvalues, eigenfunctions, position and flux autocorrelation functions and complex time propagators for a large number of systems and comparing these results with those available from other sources. In all the cases we find very good agreement. The method thus provides a very simple and accurate procedure for the study of static and dynamic properties of a quantum system.
