QBox visualizes the time evolution of an electron’s wave function for various problems (Quantum Potentials). There are multiple tools for constructing the initial wave function to be simulated, making it possible to explore how an electron behaves in a given problem. In addition to simulating the wave function evolution, the steady state solutions to each potential can be explored. Using this app it is possible with the included problems to investigate some quantum mechanical phenomena including: Quantum interference, Quantum tunnelling and diffraction of particles.

Features:

  • multiple problems to choose from
  • view steady state solutions
  • simulate time evolution of wave function
  • cross platform support (Android, Linux and Windows)

Problems/Potentials:

  • particle in a box
  • free space
  • harmonic potential
  • more
