Abstract
We extend our finite difference time domain method for numerical solution of the Schrodinger equation to cases where eigenfunctions are complex-valued. Illustrative numerical results for an electron in two dimensions, subject to a confining potential V(x,y), in a constant perpendicular magnetic field demonstrate the accuracy of the method.
