Quantum Mechanics: Tunneling

home » Website Detail Page

Detail Page

written by Kristel Michielsen and Hans De Raedt

This web page illustrates the tunneling of a quantum wavepacket through potential barriers. Movies show the time-dependent properties of wavepackets interacting with various potential barriers and wells are shown. Issues related to energy and barrier width are considered, along with comparison to scattering by a potential well.
