Item Picture
written by Paul Falstad
This simulation explores the transitions between quantum states in a hydrogen atom.  The time-dependent wavefunction is displayed.  An electric field resonant with the transition between states is applied and the changes in the wavefunction with time are tracked in a dipole approximation.  Initial and final states can be selected by the user.
