Undergrad Open Source Quantum Mechanics Visualization Software

Click For Summary
Open source alternatives to Matlab and Mathematica for visualizing quantum mechanics are being explored, with Octave mentioned as a potential option. Users are seeking introductory quantum materials specifically tailored for these tools. Python math and science libraries, particularly those available through Anaconda, are suggested as viable alternatives for quantum simulations. A simple quantum simulation example using Python is provided as a resource. The discussion highlights the need for accessible educational materials for visual learners in the field of quantum mechanics.

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.

Thread 'Two equivalent statements of time reversal symmetric Hamiltonian'

Time reversal invariant Hamiltonians must satisfy ##[H,\Theta]=0## where ##\Theta## is time reversal operator. However, in some texts (for example see Many-body Quantum Theory in Condensed Matter Physics an introduction, HENRIK BRUUS and KARSTEN FLENSBERG, Corrected version: 14 January 2016, section 7.1.4) the time reversal invariant condition is introduced as ##H=H^*##. How these two conditions are identical?
