Optimization techniques, namely the Genetic algorithms, the Particle Swarm Optimization and the Simulated Annealing method have been employed to solve the Schrödinger equation related to the carrier confinement within quantum structures. More specifically, a semiconductor quantum well made with GaAs/AlAs has been used to apply the aforementioned techniques in order to estimate the carrier distribution functions.
