2D Circular Square Well Applet
written by Paul Falstad
This simulation shows time-dependent 2D quantum bound state wavefunctions for a circular hard-walled potential.  Position, momentum, angular momentum, and energy of the states can all be viewed, with phase shown with color.  Eigentstates can be selected using the energy level diagram. Multiple-energy-eigenstate wavefunctions can be created through changes in the amplitude and phase of the basis states using spinors, or through the creation of Gaussian wavefunctions with the mouse.  The quantum numbers of the states are shown.
