Absorbing Boundary Conditions for the Finite-Difference Time Evolution of the Wigner Function using the Vlasov Equation

POSTER

Abstract

Absorbing boundary conditions for the finite-difference time evolution of the Wigner function using a constant flux condition through the 2D region of calculation in phase space are presented. Numerical results on the time evolution of a Gaussian wave packet in phase space will be presented and discussed.
