Numerically solve Schrodinger's Wave Equation with various potentials for bound states and wave packets. Real Quantum Physics - suitable for a theory lab or demonstration in an introductory Quantum Mechanics course. Find bound states for Harmonic Oscillator, Square Well, Ammonia Maser, Hydrogen Atom, and Delta Function Potentials. Follow a wave packet as it hits a Step Barrier, Resonant Potential and Tunnel Barrier. Enter energy values for a bound state and see if the solution converges - real energy values accurate to better than 1%. Observe the Ramsauer-Townsend effect and a wave packet tunnel through a forbidden potential barrier.   Screenshots: 1) Home page with options 2) Harmonic Oscillator with 5 energy levels 3) Bound state potentials 4) Wave packet bouncing off of a step function potential 5) Wave packet potentials 6) Split two levels of an ammonia maser 7) Wave packet incident on a barrier 8) Wave packet after tunneling through barrier - right side amplified by magnifier

Atomizer AR turns your iPhone or iPad into a portable quantum chemistry lab. Visualize atomic and molecular orbitals in 3D, render electron density clouds, and step into immersive WebXR augmented reality where molecules sit on your desk at real-world scale. — WHAT YOU CAN DO — • Explore atomic orbitals computed from real hydrogenic wavefunctions: 1s, 2p, 3d, 4f and beyond, with adjustable shell glow and Bohmian trajectory animation. • View any molecule's molecular orbitals (HOMO, LUMO, intermediates) computed via PySCF on the cloud, then rendered as interactive isosurfaces. • See ball-and-stick models in WebXR augmented reality. Tap "View in AR", point at a flat surface, place the molecule on a table, then pinch to scale and drag to rotate. • Pair your phone with the desktop using Atomizer Remote: enter a 4-letter code, then tilt your phone to control the on-screen molecule with your gyroscope. Live preview streams back to your phone in real time. • Browse 40+ molecules — water, glucose, caffeine, benzene, ammonia, ethanol, methane, sulfuric acid and more — with energy diagrams, dipole arrows, lone pairs (VSEPR) and MO correlation diagrams. • Calculate molar mass live from any chemical formula, including parenthesised groups like Ca(OH)₂ and (NH₄)₂SO₄, with per-element breakdown. • Balance equations, run stoichiometry, sketch molecules in 2D, and explore reaction pathways. — SUBSCRIPTIONS — Free: 5 molecule renders per period. All calculator tools and full periodic table. Californium Pass — $2.99/month. 50 renders monthly, priority compute queue. Einsteinium Pass — $6.99/month. Unlimited renders, GLTF export for AR/3D printing, protein visualization, priority support. Auto-renews unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the period ends. Cancel anytime in Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions. Subscriptions sync across iPhone, iPad, and electronvisual.org.
