Finite Difference Time Evolution of the Quantum Wigner Function in the Presence of a Magnetic Field

POSTER

Abstract

Numerical results from the finite-difference solution of a quantum Vlasov equation that governs the dynamics of the Wigner function in the presence of a magnetic field will be presented. Effects of absorbing boundary conditions in phase space and use of higher order finite-difference approximations will be discussed.
