TL;DR Summary
For a personal project, I am looking for computer software, free or for a small fee, that models a QCL laser, if possible.
Hi

For a personal project, I am looking for software that models a QCL laser. It can be free or for a small fee.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

There are some openly available tools (called MonacoQC, Matlab-based) for simulating quantum cascade structures on the Github of the computational photonics group of TU Munich:

I have no idea how versatile or easy to use they are, but maybe this is a reasonable starting point. I am quite sure there are also some papers by that group that describe the model in more detail, but I do not have a link available.
 
Not an expert in QM. AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is quite different from the classical wave equation. The former is an equation for the dynamics of the state of a (quantum?) system, the latter is an equation for the dynamics of a (classical) degree of freedom. As a matter of fact, Schrödinger's equation is first order in time derivatives, while the classical wave equation is second order. But, AFAIK, Schrödinger's equation is a wave equation; only its interpretation makes it non-classical...
I am not sure if this falls under classical physics or quantum physics or somewhere else (so feel free to put it in the right section), but is there any micro state of the universe one can think of which if evolved under the current laws of nature, inevitably results in outcomes such as a table levitating? That example is just a random one I decided to choose but I'm really asking about any event that would seem like a "miracle" to the ordinary person (i.e. any event that doesn't seem to...
