Nonstationary Problems in Quantum Mechanics

A complete computer course of the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics..
Nonstationary Problems in Quantum Mechanics is a full computer physics course, in two parts -- Nonstationary Schrödinger's Equation (NSSE) and Quantum Transitions (QT) -- dedicated to analyzing the behavior of quantum particles (electron) in external fields and comparing this behavior with classical physics. The software presents the opportunity to observe the spatial and temportal development of a microscopic process -- an important observation given the restricted number of nonstationary problems that can be solved analytically.
The quantum mechanical problems are based on the analysis of the time-dependent Schrödinger's Equation. The nonstationary approach, especially on the computer, is very visual and also gives a direct comparison between quantum mechanical and classical results. The NSSE program enables you to analyze the main features of the motion of a quantum particle (electron) in an external stationary potential field.
NSSE includes eight different problems each of which has adjustable parameters to allow for experimentation of the following:
- free particle movement
- particle diffraction by two slits
- harmonic and anharmonic oscillators
- infinite particle movement in rectangular potential
- particle movement in a constant force field
- bound state decay
- resonance tunneling
- particle motion through a potential step
The QT program is aimed at the study of the interactions of quantum systems (free electron, electron in a potential box) with an electromagnetic wave field. The following phenomena are demonstrated:
- a two-level system in the electromagnetic field
- discrete spectrum transitions
- harmonic oscillator in the electromagnetic field
- free electron in the electromagnetic field
- free-free transitions
- bound-free transitions
A Teacher's Guide suggests different exercises for which to use the software. 60 pp
