An investigation of quantum dynamical properties was conducted for $^{1}$H$^{+}$ / $^{2}$H$^{+}$ / $^{3}$H$^{+}$ ions as they traverse through a Carbon nanotube (CNT). The investigation is focused on a Fortran based program simulating a hydrogen ion passing through a CNT. Our work included testing convergence of the simulations, understanding dynamical behavior of hydrogen isotopes, and investigating the applied H$^{+}$ + CNT potential energy curve.
