Quantum Wave Packets in One and Two Dimensions
Introduction
This project explores tunneling of quantum wave packets in one dimension through a single potential barrier or a double barrier structure where resonant tunneling can be observed at special energies. In quasi-one-dimensional wire with the spin-orbit coupling one can observe spin precession and spin decoherence studied in current research on spintronics [1].
Part I for both PHYS460 and PHYS660 students
