To derive a discretized equation % we applied the Crank-Nicolson scheme in 2+1 dimensions. In addition, we have used % Dirichlet boundary conditions to express the equation in matrix form, and solve % it using the sparse matrix solver \verb|superlu|. Our implementation, and choice % of solver method, resulted in a deviation from conserved total probability on the % scale $10^{-14}$, for both the single and double slit setup. To illustrate the time evolution of the probability function, we created colormap plots for time steps $t = [0, 0.001, 0.002]$. We also included separate plots for each time step of Re$(u_{\ivec, \jvec})$ and Im$(u_{\ivec, \jvec})$. In addition, we determined the normalized particle detection probability $p(y \ | \ x=0.8, t=0.002)$, for single-, double- and triple-slit. % Rewrite this section to differ from the abstract We simulated the two-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation, and studied variations of the double-slit experiment. To solve the partial differential equations we applied the Crank-Nicolson scheme in 2+1 dimensions, and derived a discretized equation. We used Dirichlet boundary conditions to simplify the equation, expressed the equation in matrix form and solved it using the sparse matrix solver \verb|superlu|. The total probability $\sum_{\ivec, \jvec} p_{\ivec, \jvec}^{n}$ deviated from $1.0$ by a factor of $10^{-14}$ for both the single and double slit setup. % Add something about computational accuracy? We illustrated the time evolution of the probability function $p_{\ivec, \jvec}^{n} = u_{\ivec, \jvec}^{n*} u_{\ivec, \jvec}^{n}$, using colormap plots for time steps $t = [0, 0.001, 0.002]$. In addition, we included separate plots for each time step of Re$(u_{\ivec, \jvec})$ and Im$(u_{\ivec, \jvec})$, to show the components of the complex values. This resulted in a visible diffraction patterns for the double-slit experiment. In addition, we studied the normalized particle detection probability $p(y \ | \ x=0.8, t=0.002)$, for single-, double- and triple-slit. We found that increasing the number of slits in the barrier, increased the number of areas of both high and low probability of particle detection. \end{document}
