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.
