Diffraction in the time of a particle confined in a box with its walls removed suddenly at t = 0 is studied. The solution of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation is discussed analytically and numerically for various initial wavefunctions. In each case Bohmian trajectories of the particles are computed and also the mean arrival time at a given location is studied as a function of the initial state.
