English abstract:
We consider the two-dimensional, time-dependent Schr¨odinger equation discretized
with the Crank-Nicolson finite difference scheme. For this difference equation we
derive discrete transparent boundary conditions (DTBCs) in order to get highly
accurate solutions for open boundary problems. We apply inhomogeneous DTBCs
to the transient simulation of quantum waveguides with a prescribed electron inflow.

Keywords:
Quantum waveguide, Schrödinger equation, transparent boundary condition, finite difference scheme
