Simulators for Quantum Mechanics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion centers around the use of online simulators for Quantum Mechanics, specifically highlighting the free "Quantum Tunneling" simulator available at PhET. Users recommend exploring additional simulations on the PhET website, including "Quantum Bound States" and "Band Structure," which provide deeper insights into quantum phenomena. The simulators are praised for making Quantum Mechanics more accessible and less intimidating for beginners.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of Quantum Mechanics concepts
  • Familiarity with online simulation tools
  • Ability to navigate educational websites
  • Interest in visual learning methods
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore the PhET Quantum Mechanics simulations at PhET website
  • Investigate the "Quantum Bound States" simulation for insights into quantum states
  • Learn about "Band Structure" and its applications in solid-state physics
  • Research additional online resources for Quantum Mechanics education
USEFUL FOR

This discussion is beneficial for students, educators, and anyone interested in learning Quantum Mechanics through interactive simulations, particularly those who are new to the subject.

TL;DR
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.

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.
