WavePacket demo example: Linear ramp

A linear ramp potential can be viewed as one of the simplest models for scattering of particles in the presence of repulsive forces. The stationary solutions of the Schrödinger equation can be approximated by Airy functions also occuring in the theory of diffraction (e.g. rainbows).

Gaussian wavepacket in one dimension

Scattering of a localized Gaussian wavepacket is considered to be a particularly simple model of scattering in the time-dependent picture. Learn more ...
