We study algorithm to calculate the time dependent Schrödinger equation numerically and to visualize the results. We extend the product formula by the Trotter-Suzuki decomposition to cases of Hamiltonians with vector potentials. This method is unconditionally stable and it can be used for a time dependent Hamiltonian so that one can apply it to various problems without any difficulty. After examining numerical errors for time evolutions of one dimensional wave packets, we present the errors under a constant magnetic field. Also we discuss a cyclotron motion in quantum mechanics, where an advantage for the unconditional stability is demonstrated. In order to visualize the results we make animations of the time evolutions, where the phase of the wave function is represented by colors and its absolute value is shown by brightness. Here we suggest a new way to represent a complex number by colors.
