The transfer-matrix method was proposed in the 1940s to solve linear ordinary differential equations.It is broadly studied due to its efficiency and simplicity for solving one-dimensional physical problems.In this work, the method is applied to solve the timeindependent Schrödinger equation, in order to improve both the formalism and the computational treatment.Closed-form solutions are derived for quantum wells and periodic potentials of arbitrary profiles.Numerical results are given for symmetric finite-barrier quantum wells and sinusoidal potentials.
