Time Evolution of a Quantum Bounce

Shown is a free Gaussian-shaped quantum mechanical wave packet incident on an infinite boundary at x = 0.  Restart.  The top panel shows phase as color and the bottom panel shows the real and imaginary parts of the wave function.

For all of the details see: M. Doncheski and R. Robinett, Anatomy of a Quantum 'Bounce,' Eur. J. Phys. 20 29-37 (1999) and M. Belloni, M. Doncheski, and R. Robinett,  Exact Results for 'Bouncing' Gaussian Wave Packets (in preparation).
