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 Schrodinger 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 m ethod. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
