Why Does the Green Curve Have Higher Probability at the Left of the Barrier?

Hello people, I'm trying to plot probability distributions from the given potential numerically.
These are the results (particle coming from the right)

What I want to know is why does the green curves (n=1) have higher probability at the left of the barrier? Why not the right(as the other curves)?

Or if my results are completely wrong?

Can anybody analyze my results, please...

What do you mean by "particle coming from the right"? If you have infinite barriers on both the left and the right, then you are presumably calculating the energy eigenfunctions, and these should be either symmetric or antisymmetric about the center.
 
sorry for the question, I have found my fault.
 
We often see discussions about what QM and QFT mean, but hardly anything on just how fundamental they are to much of physics. To rectify that, see the following; https://www.cambridge.org/engage/api-gateway/coe/assets/orp/resource/item/66a6a6005101a2ffa86cdd48/original/a-derivation-of-maxwell-s-equations-from-first-principles.pdf 'Somewhat magically, if one then applies local gauge invariance to the Dirac Lagrangian, a field appears, and from this field it is possible to derive Maxwell’s...
I read Hanbury Brown and Twiss's experiment is using one beam but split into two to test their correlation. It said the traditional correlation test were using two beams........ This confused me, sorry. All the correlation tests I learnt such as Stern-Gerlash are using one beam? (Sorry if I am wrong) I was also told traditional interferometers are concerning about amplitude but Hanbury Brown and Twiss were concerning about intensity? Isn't the square of amplitude is the intensity? Please...
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...
