What Does DVR Stand For?

DVR stands for Discrete Variable Representation In Wave Function Calcn

DVR, or Discrete Variable Representation in Wave Function Calculation, is a computational technique used in quantum mechanics to facilitate the solving of time-independent Schrödinger equations. By discretizing the variables involved, DVR allows for efficient representation and manipulation of wave functions, leading to more accurate and stable numerical solutions. This method is particularly beneficial for systems with complex potential energy surfaces, enabling precise calculations of molecular properties and dynamics.
