We study the time-dependent Schrödinger equation
on
with an
asymptotically Euclidean metric, or, more generally, on a manifold with
boundary M, equipped with a ``scattering metric.'' Microlocal smoothness
of
turns out to be determined by growth properties of
at
. A sensible measure of both singularities and growth is the
``quadratic-scattering'' wavefront set, a generalization of Hörmander's
wavefront set. We prove a propagation theorem for the quadratic-scattering
wavefront set that describes singularities and growth of
in
terms of singularities and growth of
. This theorem generalizes a
similar result of Craig, Kappeler and Strauss.
