Quantum tunneling simulation

Simulation of the tunneling effect of a gaussian wave packet in a infinite square box with a barrier at the middle.

You can use it using the command line as python tunneling.py V0 L l T xi sigmax --TMAX --dt --filename with

    V0                   height of the barrier in eV
    L                    half length of the box in nm
    l                    half length of the barrier in nm
    T                    kick in eV
    xi                   center of the gaussian
    sigmax               size of the gaussian

optional arguments:
    -h, --help           show this help message and exit
    --TMAX TMAX          max time
    --dt dt              step in time
    --filename filename  animation destination file

Or you can import the script to your project and use it to create a new tunneling class

tun = Tunneling(V0, L, l, T, xi, sx)
times = tun.experiment(TMAX, dt)
tun.plot(times, TMAX, dt, filename='somewhere/over/the/rainbow')

Example with a potential barrier of 5 eV and a kick of intensity 4 eV N|Solid
