The Circular Well Superposition simulation displays the time evolution of the position-space wave function in an deep 2D circular well.  The default configuration shows the first excited state with zero angular momentum.  Additional eigenstates can be added using a button in the eigenstate coefficient table.

The Circular Well Superpostion model was created using the Easy Java Simulations (EJS) modeling tool.  It is distributed as a ready-to-run (compiled) Java archive.  Double clicking the ejs_qm_Superposition2DCircularWell.jar file will run the program if Java is installed.  EJS is a part of the Open Source Physics Project and is designed to make it easier to access, modify, and generate computer models.
