The paper presents a method for simultaneous computation of eigenfunction and eigenvalue of the stationary Schrödinger equation on a grid, without imposing boundary-value condition. The method is based on the filter operator, which selects the eigenfunction from wave packet at the rate comparable to δ function. The efficacy and reliability of the method are demonstrated by comparing the simulation results with analytical or numerical solutions obtained by using other methods for various boundary-value conditions. It is found that the method is robust, accurate, and reliable. Further prospect of filter method for simulation of the Schrödinger equation in higher-dimensional space will also be highlighted. © 2017 American Physical Society.
