Visualization of wave packets in Quantum Mechanics. Reflection and Transmission coeffcients. Tunel effect

Abstract

We developed an interactive program with Matlab that numerically solves the time-dependent Schrödinger equation for a gaussian wave packet under the action of different potentials and allows its visualization and propagation. Several parameters of both the wave packet and the potentials can be adjusted. Also, the reflection and transmission coeffcients of the system are computed.
