The QM Superposition program displays the time evolution of the position-space wave function. The default wave function shows a two-state superposition of harmonic oscillator states. Additional states and other potential energy functions can be specified using the Display | Switch GUI menu item.
QM Superposition is one of 18 Open Source Physics programs that model time-dependent quantum mechanics using an energy eigenstate expansion. It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive. Double clicking the qm_superposition.jar file will run the program if Java is installed. Other programs provide additional visualizations. They can be found by searching ComPADRE for Open Source Physics, OSP, or Superposition.
