This paper deals with a time-space fractional Schrödinger equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. A common strategy for discretizing time-fractional operators is finite difference schemes. In these methods, the time-step size should usually be chosen sufficiently small, and subsequently, too many iterations are required which may be time-consuming.To avoid this issue, we utilize the Laplace transform method in the present work to discretize time-fractional operators. By using the Laplace transform, the equation is converted to some time-independent problems. To solve these problems, matrix transformation and improved matrix transformation techniques are used to approximate the spatial derivative terms which are defined by the spectral fractional Laplacian operator. After solving these stationary equations, the numerical inversion of the Laplace transform is used to obtain the solution of the original equation. The combination of finite difference schemes and the Laplace transform creates an efficient and easy-to-implement method for time-space fractional Schrödinger equations. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented and show the applicability and accuracy of this approach.
