We have simulated the two-dimensional time-dependent Schrödinger equation, to study
variations of the double-slit experiment. 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.
