contents This study presents a numerical simulation of a quantum electron confined in a 10 nm potential well, using the Crank-Nicolson numerical technique to solve the time-dependent Schrodinger equation. The results capture the evolution of the electron's wave function at the 2000th time step, illustrating distinct standing wave patterns and probability densities that align with quantum mechanical predictions. Additionally, both 2D and 3D simulations across multiple time steps reveal the dynamic nature of quantum superposition and interference within the well. These findings highlight the method's stability and accuracy, offering a valuable tool for exploring quantum phenomena in constrained quantum systems.
