• Resumen

  • Schrodinger's equation in its momentum space form is generally more difficult to solve than its coordinate space counterpart. Therefore momentum space wavefunctions are generally obtained by Fourier transform of the spatial wavefunctions. This note describes two simple numerical techniques for obtaining momentum space wavefunctions.
