Numerical Methods Project: Feynman path integrals in quantum
... To test the program, the harmonic potential was chosen. It has good proporties such as being smooth and well confined, which means that the discrepancies around the endpoints become unimportant. Also the analytical solution for this problem is well known, which means that error estimating will be st ...
