Summary
DescriptionQHO-coherentstate3-animation-color.gif |
English: Animation of the quantum wave function of a coherent state of initial α=3 in a Quantum harmonic oscillator. The probability distribution is drawn along the ordinate, while the phase is encoded by color. The gaussian wave packet oscillates sinusoidally in the harmonic potential. |
