QM Superposition Program
written by Wolfgang Christian
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.

Please note that this resource requires at least version 1.5 of Java.
