English abstract:
We present and analyze a numerical method to solve the time-dependent linear Pauli equation in three space-dimensions. The Pauli equation is a semi-relativistic generalization of the Schrödinger equation for
2-spinors which accounts both for magnetic fields and for spin, the latter missing in predeeding work on the linear magnetic Schrödinger equation. We use a four operator splitting in time, prove stability and convergence of the method and derive error estimates as well as meshing strategies for the case of given time-independent electromagnetic potentials (= linear case), thus providing a generalization of previous results for the magnetic Schrödinger equation. Some proof of concept examples of numerical simulations are
presented.

Keywords:
