Abstract: We provide some numerical computations for the soliton dynamics of the nonlinear Schr"odinger equation with an external potential. After computing the ground state solution $r$ of a related elliptic equation we show that, in the semi-classical regime, the center of mass of the solution with initial datum modelled on $r$ is driven by the solution of a Newtonian type law. Finally, we provide some examples and analyze the numerical errors in the two dimensional case when $V$ is an harmonic potential.
