Scattering

The Loschmidt Echo Homepage - Introduction to the Loschmidt echo, also known as fidelity. Contains animations of the time evolution of a wave packet in the Lorentz gas and in the "smooth" stadium billiard.

Quantum Mechanical Scattering - This JAVA applet integrates the Schrödinger wave equation and produces an animated wave packet.

Quantum Scattering Theory and Applications - A brief introduction to quantum scattering as well as a full-text Ph.D. thesis from Adam Lupu-Sax. [PDF]

Scattering - Concise introduction to scattering in classical and quantum mechanics. Special attention is devoted to the Ramsauer scattering.

Time Development of Quantum Mechanical Systems - This document presents the results of the solution of the time dependent Schrodinger equation for one- and two dimensional one particle systems. Simulation results for different V(r) potentials are displayed as images and animation. The program to calculate the images is also available.

Tunneling - Addresses the phenomenon of quantum tunneling. Presents animations of the scattering of a particle from two-dimensional potential barriers and wells, as well as from barriers with slits.

Visualization of Quantum Scattering - Animation of 3-dimensional quantum scattering of a neutron off an aluminum target.

Wavefunctions in chaotic systems - Visualization of eigenfunctions of chaotic billiards in two dimensions.
