Quantum Well Explorer

Wolfram Demonstrations Project · 2007

This demonstrates probability distributions in quantum wells. The well is plotted in orange and the probability distribution is shown in blue. The blue line gives the energy of the bound state. Pick different potentials and use the slider to control the initial guess for the energy of the bound state. This initial guess is used by a shooting algorithm to find the eigenstates.
