Summary
Description |
English: Animation of a quantum simple harmonic oscillator in 2 dimensions.
The oscillating wavefuntion ψ[x,t] = Aeiφ is displayed in complex color, where brightness denotes log[amplitude A] and hue (color) denotes deBroglie phase φ. Note how the wave packet has smaller position-spread Δx in the center where the momentum spread Δp = Δ(h/λ) is larger, and vice versa. |
