The paper presents a Matlab package for the linear time-(in)dependent Schrödinger equation, based on the Hermite spectral method. The matrix form of the discretized problem is suitable for the linear algebra capabilities of Matlab. The high accuracy and efficiency of the algorithm is proved by many examples taken from the literature.
