Diffraction in time of a confined particle and its Bohmian paths

Abstract

Diffraction in time of a particle confined in a box which its walls are removed suddenly at t=0 is studied. The solution of the time-dependent Schr\"odinger equation is discussed analytically and numerically for various initial wavefunctions. In each case Bohmian trajectories of the particles are computed and also the mean arrival time at a given location is studied as a function of the initial state.
