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.
 
Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Towards the end of the first lecture for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2025, Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Olivia Lanes (Global Lead, Content and Education IBM) stated...

If we release an electron around a positively charged sphere, the initial state of electron is a linear combination of Hydrogen-like states. According to quantum mechanics, evolution of time would not change this initial state because the potential is time independent. However, classically we expect the electron to collide with the sphere. So, it seems that the quantum and classics predict different behaviours!
According to recent podcast between Jacob Barandes and Sean Carroll, Barandes claims that putting a sensitive qubit near one of the slits of a double slit interference experiment is sufficient to break the interference pattern. Here are his words from the official transcript: Is that true? Caveats I see: The qubit is a quantum object, so if the particle was in a superposition of up and down, the qubit can be in a superposition too. Measuring the qubit in an orthogonal direction might...
