Description

This module contains functions to solve the (time dependent) Schrodinger equation in one spatial dimension for a given potential function.

Synopsis

# Potentials

Arguments

 :: Double position -> Double potential energy

Free potential. The potential energy is zero everywhere.

Arguments

 :: Double spring constant -> Double position -> Double potential energy

Harmonic potential. This is the potential energy of a linear spring.

Arguments

 :: Double well width -> Double energy height of well -> Double position -> Double potential energy

Finite square well potential. Potential is zero inside the well, and constant outside the well. Well is centered at the origin.

Arguments

 :: Double width (for both wells and well separation) -> Double energy height of barrier between wells -> Double position -> Double potential energy

A double well potential. Potential energy is a quartic function of position that gives two wells, each approximately harmonic at the bottom of the well.

Arguments

 :: Double energy height of barrier (to the right of origin) -> Double position -> Double potential energy

A step barrier potential. Potential is zero to left of origin.

Arguments

 :: Double thickness of wall -> Double energy height of barrier -> Double position of center of barrier -> Double position -> Double potential energy

A potential barrier with thickness and height.

# Initial wavefunctions

Arguments

 :: R width parameter -> R center of wave packet -> R -> C wavefunction

Arguments

 :: R width parameter -> R center of wave packet -> R l0 = hbar / p0 -> R -> C wavefunction

# Utilities

Arguments

Arguments

 :: Vector C state vector -> Vector R vector of x values -> R X, expectation value of X

Arguments
