TL;DR Summary
Does anyone know of any simulators for quantum mechanics
A member helped me discover a new quantum tunneling sim online, it's free and quite amazing to look at.

https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/quantum-tunneling

Are there any other more advance simulators on the net and would anyone like to discuss this program with me as I am new to Quantum Mechanics

Hi! As I mentioned in the post in the other thread, that sim is my favorite on the PhET website-- but they have a bunch of other simulations for QM. If you look on https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulations/filter?subjects=quantum-phenomena&sort=alpha&view=grid you will see all of the quantum simulations (on the sidebar you can see their other simulations as well). Some of them are pure quantum mechanics, and some are broader applications of quantum mechanics.

My next recommendations would be the ones titled "Quantum Bound States" and "Band Structure."

Just going over at all the Sim's Now, they seem similar, however, I am a novice.

I find these excellent tools for me to use in learning QM and QM as not so intimidating now Thanks to You.

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...

I am reading WHAT IS A QUANTUM FIELD THEORY?" A First Introduction for Mathematicians. The author states (2.4 Finite versus Continuous Models) that the use of continuity causes the infinities in QFT: 'Mathematicians are trained to think of physical space as R3. But our continuous model of physical space as R3 is of course an idealization, both at the scale of the very large and at the scale of the very small. This idealization has proved to be very powerful, but in the case of Quantum...
Thread 'Lesser Green's function'
The lesser Green's function is defined as: $$G^{<}(t,t')=i\langle C_{\nu}^{\dagger}(t')C_{\nu}(t)\rangle=i\bra{n}C_{\nu}^{\dagger}(t')C_{\nu}(t)\ket{n}$$ where ##\ket{n}## is the many particle ground state. $$G^{<}(t,t')=i\bra{n}e^{iHt'}C_{\nu}^{\dagger}(0)e^{-iHt'}e^{iHt}C_{\nu}(0)e^{-iHt}\ket{n}$$ First consider the case t <t' Define, $$\ket{\alpha}=e^{-iH(t'-t)}C_{\nu}(0)e^{-iHt}\ket{n}$$ $$\ket{\beta}=C_{\nu}(0)e^{-iHt'}\ket{n}$$ $$G^{<}(t,t')=i\bra{\beta}\ket{\alpha}$$ ##\ket{\alpha}##...
