Open Source Quantum Mechanics Visualization Software

In summary, the conversation revolved around the use of open source alternatives to Matlab and Mathmatica for visualization of quantum mechanics. The participants discussed the availability of introductory quantum material for these tools and whether it would be beneficial for visual learners. Octave was mentioned as a possible alternative, but the group also suggested looking into Python math/science libraries, specifically those bundled with Anaconda. An example of a simple quantum simulation using python was also shared.

Are there any folks here who use open source alternatives to Matlab and Mathmatica for visualization of quantum mechanics?

Also, are you aware of any introductory quantum material for that tool?

If not, do you think such a thing would be worthwhile for visual leaners? Why or why not?

I have Octave, but I’m not aware of any introductory quantum material for it or whether it is a worthwhile tool compared to other possibilities.
