written by Antje Kohnle
This program illustrates the quantum states of a one-dimensional infinite square well with a symmetric constant-energy step perturbation.  The perturbed eigenfunctions are calculated, both ground and several excited states, as well as the expansion coefficients in terms of the unperturbed eigenfunctions.  A challenge section asks the user to answer various questions regarding mixing coefficients and the results of the perturbation.

This simulation is part of a collection of animations/simulations for the teaching of concepts in quantum mechanics.
