Abstract
We present an effective numerical algorithm based on discrete variable techniques combined with finite elements for solving non-separable three-dimensional Schrödinger equations. By an additional discretization of the time propagator an effective algorithm is given for studying wave-packet propagation in simple systems. As examples we present applications to astrophysical and quantum chaological problems.
