written by Paul Falstad

This simulation shows 3D representations of states of the hydrogen atom. Either real or complex wavefunctions can be viewed, with phase information shown with color. Multiple-energy-eigenstate wavefunctions can be created through changes in the amplitude and phase of the basis states. The image viewpoint can be changed using the mouse.
