Numerical solution of the Schrödinger equation for arbitrary potentials and visualisation of the results.
This project will consist of three parts:
- Parsing of an arbitrary one dimensional potential function (C)
- Numerically solving the time dependent Schrödinger equation by using the Crank-Nicolson method (C)
- Visualising the results (Java)
Currently functional:
- Parsing of functions (+,-,*,/,^ with precedence and paranthesis support)
- Onedimensional solving of the Schrödinger equation
- Visualisation of the (onedimensional) results
Supported platforms:
- Linux
- MacOS
- Eventually Windows (not actively tested, some changes might have to be made to the Makefile)
Prerequisities:
- Make
- Some sort of C compiler (e.g.
gcc) - A Java 8 or higher JDK (e.g. OpenJDK 8)
Install using make all in root directory
Run using the executables or the run script - e.g.
% zsh run.sh "d(x-0.2)" "(1/(2*3.14159*0.005^2))^(1/4)*2.718^(0-(x-0.1)^2/(4*0.005^2))*2.718^(200000i*x)"
