Abstract

We present initial results from a particle-based Monte Carlo simulation of Wigner function evolution. The case of the single tunnel barrier is studied by solving the Schrödinger equation, the Wigner distribution function, and the new Monte Carlo procedure. Comparisons of the resulting densities are presented along with a Bohm trajectory interpretation to validate the new method.
