On the application of extended precision arithmetic to quantum mechanical calculations

Abstract: ABSTRACT:The computer arithmetic of extended precision has been successfully applied to the problem of a hydrogen atom in an external magnetic field. The solution of the problem was obtained in the analytical form as a double series in nonseparable coordinates. Quantitative results were obtained by direct numerical summation of the series using software-emulated arithmetic of extended precision. Technical aspects of the numerical technique and its possible applications to other practical problems are discussed. Show more

“…For the calculation of the low-lying states of a hydrogen atom in an ultra-high magnetic field (10 5 −10 9 T), which is the case for atoms in the atmosphere of white dwarfs and neutron stars, existent effective methods includes basis set method using different basis functions [3][4][5][6][7][8], eigenvalue analysis method [9][10][11], finite element method [12], adiabatic approximate method [13][14][15], and series method [16][17][18]. Among these methods, the series method introduced by Kravchenko and Liberman give the most accurate results for the low-lying spectra of hydrogen atom in a magnetic field [16][17][18].…”

“…Among these methods, the series method introduced by Kravchenko and Liberman give the most accurate results for the low-lying spectra of hydrogen atom in a magnetic field [16][17][18]. The disadvantage of this method is its requirement for high computational precision up to 280 decimal digits, which is not available in common computers [16].…”

“…In the nonrelativistic quantum mechanics the problem of the hydrogenic atom in a homogeneous magnetic field can be solved exactly, in a sense that energy and the wavefunction can be computed with any precision, in the form of power series in the radial variable with coefficients being polynomials in the sine of the polar angle [10,11,12]. Terms in the series are connected by explicit recurrent relations and a set of mathematical solutions is generated by starting from appropriately chosen starting values.…”
