We used the \verb|superlu| solver, which is a solver for sparse matrices. It is generally used to solve nonsymmetric, sparse matrices. However, as the alternative solver \verb|lapack| converts a sparse matrix to a dense matrix, it will increase memory usage compared to \verb|superlu|. % Problem 7: Consequenses of solver choice, in regards to accuracy of probability conserved % Add plot of deviation for both single- and double-slit Since we used a solver for sparse matrices, we decrease the number of computations performed compared to number of computations using a solver for dense matrices. We checked if the total probability was conserved over time, by plotting the deviation from $1.0$. \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{images/probability_deviation.pdf} \caption{Deviation of total probability, for time $t \in [0, T]$ where $T=0.008$.} \label{fig:deviation} \end{figure} In Figure \ref{fig:deviation}, we observe a larger deviation of total probability for a barrier with double slits compared to no barrier. Interaction with the barrier result in a change ... of values, as the light passes through, The result is more prone to computational errors. Using no barrier, the light is not affected by obstacles resulting in a more stable deviation from the total probability. In addition, we have to consider the limitation of a computer, some computational error is to be expected. \subsection{Time evolution}\label{ssec:time_evolution} % Problem 8: Colormap, include plot of both Re and Im for different time steps % Account for color scale We ran the simulation using the values in column 2 of Table \ref{tab:sim_setup}, found in Section \ref{ssec:implementation}. To study the time evolution of the probability function, we created colormap plots for different time steps. Figure \ref{fig:colormap_0_prob}, Figure \ref{fig:colormap_1_prob}, and Figure \ref{fig:colormap_2_prob} show the result for time steps $t=[0, 0.001, 0.002]$, respectively. In addition, we created separate plots for the real and imaginary part of $u_{\ivec, \jvec}$, for the same time steps. The result can be found in Appendix \ref{ap:figures}, in Figure \ref{fig:colormap}. \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{images/color_map_0_prob.pdf} \caption{The probability function $p_{\ivec, \jvec}^{n}$, at time $t=0$.} \label{fig:colormap_0_prob} \end{figure} \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{images/color_map_1_prob.pdf} \caption{The probability function $p_{\ivec, \jvec}^{n}$, at time $t=0.001$.} \label{fig:colormap_1_prob} \end{figure} \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{images/color_map_2_prob.pdf} \caption{The probability function $p_{\ivec, \jvec}^{n}$, at time $t=0.002$.} \label{fig:colormap_2_prob} \end{figure} In Figure \ref{fig:colormap_1_prob}, the ... interacts with the double slitted barrier, which result in a wavelike pattern. However, the waves are more visible when we observe the real and imaginary part separately in Figure \ref{fig:colormap}. \subsection{Particle detection}\label{ssec:particle_detection} % Problem 9: Plot detection probability for single-, double- and triple-slit We used the simulation from the previous section, assumed a detector screen located at $x=0.8$, and plotted the detection probability along the screen at time $t=0.002$. We adjusted the parameters to include single-, double-, and triple-slitted barrier. The results is found in Figure \ref{}, Figure \ref{}, and Figure \ref{fig:}. \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{images/single_slit_detector.pdf} \caption{Probability of particle detection along a detector screen at time $t=0.002$, when using a single-slit barrier.} \label{fig:particle_detection_single} \end{figure} \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{images/double_slit_detector.pdf} \caption{Probability of particle detection along a detector screen at time $t=0.002$, when using a double-slit barrier.} \label{fig:particle_detection_double} \end{figure} \begin{figure} \centering \includegraphics[width=\linewidth]{images/triple_slit_detector.pdf} \caption{Probability of particle detection along a detector screen at time $t=0.002$, when using a triple-slit barrier.} \label{fig:particle_detection_triple} \end{figure} \end{document}
