Time-Dependent Methods for Studying Wave Packet Behavior in Graphene

Recent work on the quantum hall effect in graphene has promoted the use of time-dependent methods for studying wave packet behavior in graphene. Here we develop a framework to calculate the propagation of wave packets in finite graphene systems, permitting us to examine their interaction with cuts along the major symmetry lines as well as irregular edges.
