A Highly Accurate Technique to Obtain Exact Solutions to Time-Fractional Quantum Mechanics Problems with Zero and Nonzero Trapping Potential
Abstract
In this study, the highly accurate analytical Aboodh transform decomposition method (ATDM) in the sense of Caputo fractional derivative is used to determine the approximate and exact solutions of both linear and nonlinear time-fractional Schrodinger differential equations (SDEs) with zero and nonzero trapping potential that describe the nonrelativistic quantum mechanical activity. The Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the Aboodh transform of Caputo’s fractional derivative are combined in this method. The recurrence and absolute error of the four problems are analyzed to evaluate the efficiency and consistency of the presented method. In addition, numerical results are also compared with other methods such as the fractional reduced differential transform method (FRDTM), the homotopy analysis method (HAM), and the homotopy perturbation method (HPM). The results obtained by the proposed method show excellent agreement with these methods, which indicates its effectiveness and reliability. This technique has the benefit of not requiring any minor or major physical parameter assumptions in the problem. As a result, it may be used to solve both weakly and strongly nonlinear problems, overcoming some of the inherent constraints of classic perturbation approaches. To solve nonlinear fractional-order differential equations, just a few computations are necessary. As a consequence, it outperforms homotopy analysis and homotopy perturbation approaches significantly. The procedure is quick, precise, and easy to implement. Convergence analysis of the series solution is also offered.
