Numerical simulation of Resonant Tunnelling in an Arbitrary Potential.

Resonant Tunnelling

Numerical simulation in an Advanced Quantum Mechanics course of the Engineering Physics degree.

Contents

This repository contains the code elaborated in December 2023 for an advanced quantum mechanics numerical laboratory. There are several scripts in this repository, all of which use the library qumpy/simulators.py to compute the transmission coefficient in different 1D potential scenarios.

The lab report, which shows and discusses the generated plots, is located at Documents/Lab Report.pdf
