DescriptionQm doublewell timedomain.gif |
English: Dynamics of a gaussian wavepacket in a double well potential. At large times (larger than the ones shown) the probability to find the particle on the left or on the right are equal.
Plotting |ψ| instead of |ψ|² because the plot was more legible this way. |
