Abstract

Tunneling through a one-dimensional Eckart barrier is investigated using a recently developed propagation scheme based on semiclassical wave packets. This version of the time-dependent discrete variable representation method yields linear equations for the parameters, is fully adaptive, and does not require a frozen ansatz in order to approximate the exact solution of the Schrödinger equation accurately. We rely on an analytical result to derive a new algorithm to spawn a second family of semiclassical wave packets after the tunneling has occurred. Numerical results for a benchmark problem demonstrate the accuracy of the new method.
