Description

Nonrelativistic quantum-mechanical scattering in two dimensions is studied numerically by integrating the time-dependent Schroedinger equation. A partial-wave analysis is used to discuss the numerical results. A potential barrier, a square well and a single slit are considered as the scattering potentials
