21. To propagate Eq. (25), we use a fast Fourier transform method, where the partial derivatives (in both the kinetic and angular momentum terms) are treated by Fourier transforming into momentum space. This method involves discretizing the wave function using a grid, where we typically use a grid spacing of Δx=Δy=0.08.
