Controlling wave function localization in a multiple quantum well
structure
   [PDF]

Anjana Bagga, Anu Venugopalan
The dynamics of a wave function describing a particle confined in a multiple quantum well potential is studied numerically. As a consequence of quantum mechanical tunneling, an initial wavefunction designed to be localized in one well can localize in the others after a certain time and hop between wells at times which depends on the height and width of the barriers separating the wells. This feature could find potential application in controlling electron transport in quantum well heterostructures
