"QUANTUM SCATTERING animates the classic film loops of the '60s and in addition allows user adjustment. I will definitely use it in class."
-John Gastineau,
North Carolina State University
"QUANTUM SCATTERING is a major improvement in learning over the old film loops."
-David Winch,
Kalamazoo College
"Helps students build intuition. Wonderful pedogogical tool."

Don't use old-fashioned techniques to teach your modern physics course! Replace those old film loops with Quantum Scattering and give your students the interactive advantage of user-controlled demonstrations.
Quantum Scattering examines the quantum-mechanical time evolution of a Gaussian wave packet interacting with a potential barrier or well in one dimension. The dynamics of a wave packet provide the clearest illustration of the correspondence between classical and quantum mechanics. Stationary-state examples fail to show this correspondence, but the animated nature of Quantum Scattering makes it clear.
Unlike textbooks or lectures, these simulations let you view the motion and see how changes in the potential affect the behavior of a system. You can vary the physical parameters and freeze or step slowly through a simulation. You can set the width and height of a potential barrier or well and choose the shape: rectangular, triangular, or sawtooth.
Quantum Scattering also demonstrates concepts like tunneling, resonance, wave-packet spreading, and the principle of finite probability density in classically forbidden regions. 30 pp.
