Claim One:
1. A numerical simulation apparatus that executes a numerical simulation using a second wave function which is a solution of a time dependent Schrödinger equation, said numerical simulation apparatus comprising: a time evolution calculation unit configured to calculate a result of the second wave function at a plurality of times from an initial time in increments of a predetermined time period according to a time evolution calculation of the second wave function, wherein the result of the second wave function at each time is obtained by applying a central difference approximation in a real-space finite-difference method to a first wave function expressed using a propagator, and the time evolution calculation is performed using a Bessel function; and a calculation result storage unit configured to store the result of the second wave function obtained at each time by said time evolution calculation unit while evolving the second wave function in increments of the predetermined time period.
