Where can I find source code for scientific programs?

SUMMARY

The discussion centers on locating source code for scientific programs, specifically referencing the method for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger Equation as developed by M. D. Feit, J. A. Fleck Jr., and A. Steiger in their 1982 paper. The original poster seeks programs similar to the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) that provide complete implementations rather than just routines. A suggestion is made to contact the corresponding author for access to the code or to explore resources like the Computational Chemistry List at http://www.ccl.net/chemistry/ for potential leads.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the time-dependent Schrödinger Equation
  • Familiarity with scientific programming libraries like GSL
  • Knowledge of academic citation practices
  • Basic skills in reaching out to authors for research inquiries
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the GNU Scientific Library (GSL) for available routines and programs
  • Explore the Computational Chemistry List for additional resources on scientific programming
  • Investigate the original paper by M. D. Feit et al. for implementation details
  • Learn about contacting authors for source code requests in academic settings
USEFUL FOR

Researchers, physicists, and programmers interested in accessing historical scientific programming implementations, particularly those working with quantum mechanics and computational physics.

:rolleyes: ... not sure if this is the right place to post this.

Hi, I'm looking for something like GSL but with programs instead of routines.

For example, there is a method that was developed in the 80's for solving the time-dependent Schrödinger Equation (M. D. Feit, J. A. Fleck Jr. and A. Steiger. J. Comput. Phys. 47, 412 (1982)). This paper has something like 1200 citations, so I'm sure many people have programmed it before.

Is there any place where I can found this kind of programs?

Thanks!

Hello,
it is difficult to get such old source codes. Better ask the corresponding author directly, if it not a free one.
Otherwise try here. May be you can get it.
